K-12 Railroad Model Competition 2024/2025 The Fresno State Transportation Institute designed the Railroad Model Competition to be an accessible and enjoyable educational experience, helping students and teachers to build a better future in transportation sciences. This competition is divided into 3 grade levels; Upper Elementary, Middle, and High schools. Each grade level will have 10 teams per grade and teams of up to 10 students and at least one faculty member or club advisor. This competition will also show the creativity of the teams in designing their own railroad track models in a way that is fuel and cost-efficient and minimum time traveled. However, for this to happen, we would need coaches and mentors to devote at least an hour per week in working with other schools. Those who are transportation professional will be assigned as coaches. Those who are railroad modelers will be assigned as mentors. The registration for the railroad competition is now open. The competition day is tentatively scheduled for a Saturday in April 2025. Please check this webpage periodically for updates. *MTI is a proud co-sponsor of this competition. |
