TECHSPLORATION!

Today, we had the fortune of having not only a Techsploration Assembly, but a special workshop for our class in the STEM lab.  Check out some pictures and videos!

  2. the cars that were the fastest were the ones with the more sails. it goes faster because it makes it glide in the air. the winners had a lot of sails on it.

    1. What kinds of sails did the fast cars have, Camden? How did the sails make them glide? I would think the sails would create drag and get in the way of airflow? Did that happen?

  3. One problem was if you stuck the Popsicle sticks in the front it might not push the button but then it might reach it faster and if you put it on the back it might not race because the air might not go through the Popsicle stick and you are technically cheating.
