Using Styrofoam, Styrofoam cutter, and a track I created levitating cars because it sounded fun to make and its something new I have never done.
During this process, I learned how to use a Styrofoam cutter and cut the Styrofoam into a car shaped piece. Also, to make the cars go perfectly down the track because for a minute it wouldn't go down all the way.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties Empowered learner because I worked hard to cut the foam perfectly the shape I wanted it and also I was motived to create something new.
A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the foam cars to levitate because they would go down a little bit but then stop. I was able to do it by putting magnets on the top so it would stay down and not come up.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change I would make it flatter so it would go so much faster . The reason why I would change it is because the thicker it was the slower it was, the flatter it was the faster it went.
