Sharjah24: "Sharjah Youth" , affiliated with 'Quarter of a Century Foundation' for Creating leaders and Innovators, stood out by offering a range of specialized programs and interactive activities in the Skills Lab. This lab, organized for the third consecutive year as part of the "Your Summer with Us 2024" event, embodies the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of the Ruler of Sharjah and Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs, in nurturing generations that excel in all fields.
The Race Car Lab programs provided a creative space for the members of the Khorfakkan and Kalba Youth Centers. Through a series of training stages and workshops, they gained a deep understanding of car structure design and acquired skills in designing and manufacturing miniature prototype cars in three dimensions, using different materials in innovative ways and leveraging advanced technology in their development.

The participants learned about the selection and use of suitable materials for building the car structure, such as wood, epoxy, fiberglass, plastic wheels, and metal axles. The challenge involved shaping the wooden block and designing it into an aerodynamic car capable of racing on a downhill track in the shortest possible time, while adhering to specific criteria regarding size, weight, and design.

The participants acquired skills in transforming miniature prototype models into realistic air-powered cars without using internal engines, making them eligible to participate in races. They also learned the basics of painting and mechanical principles.

The Race Car Lab programs aim to develop participants' problem-solving skills, technical proficiency, and precision in execution. Additionally, the programs enhance their capacity for creative thinking and innovation in car design to achieve better performance and an enjoyable racing experience.
