Welcome to RACECAR Neo!
Innovative hands-on programming and robotics education, created by passionate students, teachers, and engineers at MIT. Get started today!
Welcome to the RACECAR Neo Website! This page is a wiki & central location for teachers, learners, hobbyists, and students interested in working with the MIT BWSI Autonomous RACECAR course. RACECAR Neo is the next-generation autonomous vehicle platform for educating introductory robotics and programming concepts for middle school, high school, and early college students. RACECAR is free to start, with a virtual twin simulator built in Unity generating synthetic sensor data from a virtual environment. Once you are comfortable programming in the sim, make the switch to a physical robot composed of modular parts, and see your code come to life!
Upcoming Courses
MIT IAP RACECAR 2025
Learn about basic autonomy and robotics in this short two-week course on Autonomous RACECAR! In this class, members of the MIT community will have the opportunity to program a 1:14 scale RC car to autonomously navigate through an obstacle course.
The course includes a full-day hackathon and a final Grand Prix race in the MIT Tunnels. Don’t miss out, apply now!
Location: MIT Campus, 33-116
Dates: January 20th, 22nd, 24th, 27th, 29th, 31st
