DESCRIPTION
Come join us for two weeks (3 hours/day) as we design, build, and race CO2 powered cars based on the popular F1 in Schools competition model. Camp participants will learn how to use professional 3D modeling software (Autodesk Inventor) to design a car according to specific design parameters, will gain experience in building that car using a 3D printer, and will then have to opportunity to test those cars on a 25 meter elevated race track. The week will conclude with an evening competition open to friends and family where participants will compete live for the title of "fastest car on the track."
