Illinois Teacher Pits students Against Each Other With 3D Printed CO2 Car Races

[galledw]

Corben,

I am the middle school science teacher who recently asked you about where you got your resources for CO2 cars. I am really excited because I got a grant to pay for all of the materials for the project! My students will be designing the chassis like yours. One more question for you...part of our curriculum is aerodynamics, thrust, drag, etc. When you cut your students loose to create their designs for the chassis, did you direct them to any specific websites or resources in order to create the most aerodynamic chassis? I want my students to do some research into this and make it a quality project since it will be quite time consuming and "trial and error" won't really be possible because of time and money. Any suggestions or resources/websites? Thanks again for all of your help...I can't wait to get going!
