Air-Propelled Racing Car

Tanglen 6^th grade teacher Keenan Jones has issued a challenge to his students: who can design, engineer, and build the fastest air-propelled car by race day deadline? Physics, speed, energy consumption, teamwork, and problem solving are all vital components to this exciting competitive contest. As Jones notes, “society is changing at a rapid rate and students need skills that transfer across all disciplines and subjects.” This project will involve STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) as well as language arts and reading curricula.
