Rubber Band Car Project

Description

Rev up your engineering skills with the Rubber Band Powered Car DIY Project! This exciting kit allows kids to build their own car powered by the energy stored in a rubber band, complete with a gear system to enhance movement. As they assemble the car, children will delve into essential STEM concepts such as energy transfer, motion, and mechanical advantage. They’ll discover how winding the rubber band stores potential energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy to propel the car forward.

This hands-on project encourages creativity and problem-solving as kids experiment with different gear configurations and rubber band tensions to optimize speed and distance. Once completed, they can race their rubber band-powered cars, applying their knowledge of mechanics in a fun and interactive way.

Ideal for ages 7+, the Rubber Band Powered Car DIY Project combines education with play, making engineering principles tangible and engaging through hands-on construction and real-world applications!
