Welcome to the world of mechanical engineering!
People can get from place to place in a lot of ways. Some walk or ride a bike or skateboard. Sometimes people take a plane, train, or boat, and sometimes they go by car. Engineers have been creating cars for hundreds of years and now it’s your turn! Learn how engineers brainstorm, build models, and test their ideas as you create a car.
- Design and build model cars
- Use model cars to test the friction of different surfaces
- Race your cars
When you’ve earned this badge, you’ll know how to build and test model cars and understand how friction and gravity affect speed.
This is an in-person event, with a maximum number of 10 participants to ensure safe distancing and caution. All participants are required to wear a mask, bring their own water bottle, and social distance.
