Have you ever thought about designing your own car?  Many people have wondered the same thing throughout history, and there have been some pretty interesting designs.  Even though you’re not quite old enough to drive yet, you can still learn about the science of movement and how to power an object to propel it forward.

In this JAM, you will design a vehicle that is powered by wind…or more specifically, your own breath.  It takes just a few common objects, some glue, and some tinkering.  Good for an indoor project!

PLEASE NOTE:

  • We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

  • Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

  • Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
