We will be making a powered wooden car from plywood / MDF

The best way to learn is to learn by doing, so by doing this your child will understand how to use drills, how to solder, saw, file, use sandpaper, and wire up a button-battery-motor combination.

They will also understand gear ratios (fractions) and the principles of friction.

Parents are encouraged to join, free of charge, to hang out, talk to everyone, but please allow your kids the freedom to experiment, make mistakes and play. (work at their pace)

It should take two sessions, (Two Continuous Wednesday) to finish the car

Each session lasts approximately two hours

Session 1: Make the car

Session 2; Power it up and see who's is fastest.
