		Discover firsthand how engineering principles work as you design, build and race a CO2-powered race car. How fast will your car travel? The answer will depend on your design and ingenuity. The more aerodynamic the design, the faster the speed. Begin your undertaking by creating a plan using designer software. Next, construct your vehicle out of balsa wood and finish it with a custom paint job. When complete, your car must meet weight and design specifications. Then, you'll clock your amazing speeds using a digital timer, analyze the data, and finally, fine-tune your design to increase the car's speed.
