Program overview
Phenix City Elementary School participates in the GreenpowerUSA. Our team consists of students in fourth and 5th grade.
The Formula Goblin project aims to inspire children ages 9 – 11 years old to take an interest in engineering in a fun and innovative way. The project is for children to build their very own functioning and drivable electric car. The kit comes flat packed with step by step instruction guiding the team through the build in an easy to understand manner. The build introduces children to basic mechanics, tools, and engineering concepts.
