Racecar Middle School (RMS) Crash Course is a middle school outreach program that focuses on improving diversity in STEM through robotics education. The course focuses on interest-building and exposure. Local middle school students attend eight, 3-hour hands-on sessions on Saturday mornings.

Each session of RMS Crash Course involves a mixture of lecture and lab. Since teamwork is crucial to success in modern engineering, labs are often completed in pairs. The most recent offering of RMS Crash Course had the following topics for each of the eight sessions:

1. Scratch
2. Python, Primitives, and Types
3. Variables and Conditionals
4. Functions
5. Lists, Loops
6. Intro to RACECAR
