LEXINGTON, Ky. — Fayette County Public Schools and the Breeders’ Cup Festival have partnered this fall to connect classroom instruction with Lexington’s equine industry, according to a district announcement. The centerpiece is the Breeders’ Cup 3D Coin Design Challenge, in which student artwork is being turned into three-dimensional commemorative pieces.
More than 1,000 students across all grade levels took part, applying skills in literacy, science, technology, engineering, math, the arts and social studies. The district received more than 140 top submissions from 20 schools, and the Breeders’ Cup Committee selected 10 finalists. They include Lemuel Ampadu, Sophia Chaney and Samuel Wakefield of STEAM Academy; Libby Braun of Dixie Magnet Elementary; Quintayvious Brown of William Wells Brown Elementary; Luke Grimm of Julius Marks Elementary; Suvani Joshi of Garrett Morgan Elementary; Addison Oldham of Locust Trace AgriScience Center; Ellie Reed of SCAPA at Bluegrass; and Nathan Snow of Leestown Middle School.
District staff are using the FCPS Office of Instructional Technology’s Fab Lab, which is funded by the Kloiber Foundation and the Breeders’ Cup, to 3D print 1,000 commemorative horseshoe displays that showcase the winning coin designs.
“Our students haven’t just learned about the Breeders’ Cup – they have shaped the way our entire community will celebrate it,” said Interim Superintendent Bill Bradford. “Watching their ideas move from initial classroom sketches to precision-crafted collector pieces inside our Fab Lab shows the true power of vibrant, hands-on learning.”
A hundred horseshoe displays will be distributed Oct. 24 at Keeneland’s Sunrise Track, and the rest will be made available later at two downtown parks. Residents can collect a coin from each group as part of a citywide challenge:
Oct. 25: Turf Masters and Future Stars, at Purple in the Park at Gatton Park. Oct. 28-30: Leading Ladies and Speed Kings, at Tandy Park Takeover. Oct. 30-31: Grand Finale, at the Official Watch Party at Gatton Park.
Participants can also visit any branch of the Lexington Public Library to design an original coin. The district is further promoting the project with expanded family experiences at Gatton Park and an FCPS Purple Up Day on Friday, Oct. 23, leading into Breeders’ Cup Week.
“We have been amazed at the level of collaboration between FCPS and the Breeders’ Cup Festival,” said Kip Cornett, festival director. “Their contribution to the programming of this event has elevated the experience for the students and families in Lexington.”
Details on additional events during the week of music, food, art and horse country culture are available on the Breeders’ Cup Festival website.
