The Idea Of The Kinematic Racer:
The problem that was defined for our STEM II class was that the students had to design a mouse trap car that meets certain requirements. The students were given certain materials like: balsa wood, CDs, and a mouse trap. Being able to use those materials plus any extras that their mind came across, they had to design a mouse trap car that went at least 1 meter per second and traveled at least 11 meters. If these requirements were not made, students would have points taken off their final score.
This boat is 11 meters.
