STEM Starters Getting Started Kit: Zip-Line Racers

This Zip-Line Racer activity kit challenges students to create a propeller-powered device that travels along a string using the engineering design process. When the essential pieces—propellers, rubber bands, craft sticks, and string—are combined with the provided everyday items, these materials can be used to design and execute a project using creative exploration and trial and error. It's up to the young scientists to determine the best materials to use in order to effectively propel their racer. Includes enough materials for 6 racers.

By approaching a problem or a challenge with this thought process, children are able to make educated guesses, problem-solve, and learn without the fear of making a mistake. Perfect for individuals or small groups.
