Holiday Racers (Free PDF Download)
$0.00
In this design challenge, students apply engineering design practices as they design, build, test, and optimize a single-wheel, elastic racer using recycled or leftover holiday decorations and materials. Racers may be evaluated on their decorations related to a holiday theme, or evaluations can be made based on the function of the racer, the design process, or other metrics as appropriate. While this challenge is a fun one for before or after a holiday, it can be used any time of year using recycled and found supplies.
