This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider
Students will use a kid friendly online CAD modeling program to create a car design. Students will then carve their car using floral wet foam, wheels and axels to race in the derby.
Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute
