Middle School Drop ‘N Build Challenge – Wind-Powered Cars

As part of their STEM studies on Friday, middle school students were challenged to design a sail car, powered by wind from a large fan. Students designed a variety of sails – ranging from traditional sails to inventive sails with wings.  Some groups were so successful that the cars rolled over 12 meters. The overall winning team that made it the farthest with the fastest time was Barbie Z. , Jenny C., and Cyanne J. . Great work!

The following teams had the best score in their grades: 6th Jake & Anthony C. – 1180 cm. 7th Barbie Z., Jenny C., & Cyanne J. – 1257 cm. 8th Brandon O., Blake W., & Jason L. – 1257 cm.
