Your STEM Challenge

Now that we have done our bit, you need to do yours! We want you to complete this STEM challenge individually or in groups. You will be competing against others from your school and other schools.

You will be set a STEM challenge and the group that completes the challenge the best will win a great prize.

Your challenge is to design and make a car that can move without your help, no contact can be made after you have set it down on the starting line ( you may want to use a balloon or a wafter ).

You will then have to see how far your car can go along a flat surface (corridor) and then measure the distance between the start line and the back end of the car when it stops. You can use any materials you want apart from motors and any electric equipment.

You will also have to make a poster about your car including a picture of your car, challenges you faced and features of your car.

You will be judged on creativity, distance and design factors.
