Rope Runner Regional Competitions
ORGANIZATION: Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois
Please visit the new page to apply.
Help manage the Rope Runner Race, we need check-in people, someone to help at the practice course, catchers, a main judge, line judges. Also people to help with set-up and clean-up, and First Aid/CPR.
Rope Runners are wooden figures which roll down a rope on a single wheel, using weights to balance. The competition is designed to teach girls important STEM concepts-such as center of mass, gravity, and mass vs. weight-in a fun, hands-on way. Girls can earn badges in Mechanical Engineering, Fair Play, Leader in Action, Field Day, and Think Like an Engineer through participation in a Rope Runner race.
Rope Runners is part of GSNI’s STEM programming and commitment to Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) STEM Pledge-a multiyear initiative to put 2.5 million girls through Girl Scout hands-on STEM programs by 2025. Read more on GSUSA’s STEM pledge here.
