Datsun Racing winning cars

Project Overview:
Students designed and built balloon-powered cars using recycled materials. This project introduced basic physics and engineering principles through fun, hands-on experimentation.

Students learned multiple STEM concepts and skills through the balloon-powered car project beyond just building a car:

• Fundamental physics principles such as Newton’s Third Law of Motion, air pressure, thrust, friction, and aerodynamics are taught through direct hands-on experimentation.

• Engineering design process: designing, building, testing, and iterating their car prototypes for specific goals like distance or speed.
