This event is free and open to the public!
Join Pike's Technology Team for an interactive workshop in Pike's Makerspace, where students will be guided through the engineering design process. Through an activity blending creativity with STEAM, students will have an opportunity to imagine, create, and build their own high-performance vehicles using rubber bands, cardboard, and wooden axles.
The challenge? Students must engineer a car designed to go the distance, experimenting with aerodynamics and a balloon-powered propulsion system. Participants will refine their mechanical designs before putting their custom builds to the ultimate distance test! **This event is suitable for students who are currently in Grades 4–6. This is a drop-off event and lunch will be served.
