Use stored energy to spin, launch, roll, or move a design.
Learners build
A spring-powered vehicle that learners invent from a kit of reusable parts.
Learners start with a practice build. They put the motor in its holder, add straw axles and wheels, lock the wheels with wedges and collars, and test-drive.
From there, they take it apart and design something new from any combination of parts, and they can lock vehicles together into one giant rolling machine. It connects art and design, math, and science and engineering.
Educator Resources
Student-facing slides introduce the concepts, guide the activity, and help learners reflect on what changed. Educator materials support setup, pacing, discussion, and extensions so this can work in classrooms, libraries, homeschool groups, clubs, or makerspaces.
