Big Engineering Challenge: Wind-Powered Wheels
January 17 @ 10:30 am - 3:30 pm
Join W5 LIFE for some hands-on STEM activities, unleashing your creativity and problem-solving skills as you explore forces, motion and aerodynamics. You will work in teams, making 2D and 3D structures before designing and building your very own wind-powered car.
Once your vehicle is built, you will then add paper sails, place it on the starting line in front of a fan, and race!
