RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A special STEM project at a Racine elementary school comes with a big prize, thanks to United Way and the Milwaukee Bucks.

Fifth grade students at Knapp Elementary School in Racine had a special type of science fair, showcasing their very own electric cars.

"We had to get batteries and a motor and connect the wires so it could turn on. We had a switch," said student Jonah Soto.

For many of the students, it was a lesson in perseverance.

"This car, it showed me patience," said Jonah's teammate, Bella Johnson. "We had to make our motor, test it out."
