NB Soap Box Derby

Everyone loves a good old fashioned race and it doesn't get any better than racing down a city street, zooming past cheering fans and crossing the finish line. The Saint John Branch of Engineers and Geoscientists New Brunswick (APEGNB) presented the Saint John Soap Box Derby on Cranston Avenue, Saturday, June 8. 2024,APEGNB believes in supporting community based events that help teachers and schools expand their Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) capabilities. The young racers, comprised of children from the ages of 7 - 17 who, with the help of their pit crews, raced in two car divisions - stock and super-stock. Proceeds from the Derby provide opportunities for PALS schools of Greater Saint John to enjoy the many offerings of Rockwood Park. These activities complement the science and physical education curriculum for our students. Providing our children an opportunity to experience outdoor activities at Rockwood Park will help contribute to a life-long healthy lifestyle and in turn, a healthy community.
