7th Grade - Let's go CO2 car Racing!!

 An incredible amount of time and effort went into this project and the picture below shows the great results. 

The best part.......that's not even all of them. 

7th Grade Design Process CO2 project will be racing in two weeks

 

To 7th graders

Great job to all students who are creating their CO2 car. Using the design process the students have created a variety of ideas. In the picture below you can see (front) completed cars, cars being assembled, car that have been primed but need final painting and assembly.  Then there is the large group of car bodies needing priming, painting and final assembly.  No matter what, the students are doing a great job and I can't wait to see how fast their designs will go. 

Good Luck to all designers.

Second quarter has begun - New Lessons have started

 To all grades sections 1 through 4

The 6th grade classes have started learning how to program using Tynker. This is a web based program so as long as they have internet access the students can continue to enjoy learning. 

The 7th grade classes have started on the transportation project called Designing a CO2 car. They'll be making use of the design process learned in the previous assignment while using supplies from Pitsco. 

The 8th grade classes have started on the next steps to improving their understanding of how Robotics and programming are interconnected.

Hooked up the GoPro to one of the cars and let it race our test car. Nice on board view.
