Build a LEGO car to travel down a ramp and see how far it travels. Improve upon your design by buying new pieces with your budget. How far will you get your LEGO car to travel?
During this workshop learners will:
- Develop skills that help them work collaboratively while building upon challenges and making improvement to their builds during the workshop.
- Be split into groups and given the same set of LEGO pieces. Using a design brief the learner build a car that will travel down a ramp with the aim of trying to get the furthest distance.
- Consider the forces that are acting on the car and how they can overcome any issues or use the forces to their advantage.
- Budget to buy parts to make changes to their car.
- Re test their cars after all necessary purchases and changes.
