    The annual Big Race has arrived in STEMville!


    Gather around the track to watch the town’s contestants compete to become this year’s champion. Frankie Thunderfoot comes from a family of confident trophy winners, while Wilbur Hardshell’s race team are slow, steady and mathematical in their approach. When Frankie’s need for speed causes her to crash, Wilbur must decide whether he should forfeit his position to help her or secure first place for himself. Learn all about how race cars are built and how they work, from acceleration to g-force and quick-fire pit stops.
    Ben Newman has produced work for a large range of clients, including the Tate Modern, New York Times, BBC Radio 4, Apple, Google and The New Yorker. Ben co-created the Professor Astro Cat children's books with his long time friend and scientist, Dr Dominic Walliman, which are published by Flying Eye Books and have been translated into 24 other languages.
