ByteMX

Ruach Bicycle Club (founded by Mike and Markisha White) is committed to creating life-forming experiences for kids (K-12) using bicycling as the platform. Team ByteMX is developing a project for the club’s STEM educational programming, an important part of their mission. The team is creating a digital simulation program and game that will facilitate an upcoming competition among the students to design and model a pump track to build in a park. The students will be able to first build preliminary prototypes using 3D-printed track pieces, recreate those designs in our program and expand their designs with additional flexibility, and test out the tracks they have designed through a BMX riding simulation game. Our project aims to teach students about engineering as well as the value that pump track parks can add to a community.
