Why do kinetic sculpture racers race kinetic sculptures? For the glory and for the fun of it! Having this much fun may look easy, but takes effort! We could use your help, and there are many ways to lend a hand. Check out the lists below (Volunteer leads, projects and Weekend Of) to see what suits you. Don't see it? Ask us!
Remember, many hands make light work, and the more the merrier!
