Part of PBS had a great opportunity to go the Mind Lab in MOTAT ( Museum of Transportation And Technolgy ). The first thing we did was have a trip around MOTAT to shave some time for the other groups.
Making the Electric Car
( Also parental guidence is needed for kids making this project ) The materials needed were 4 skewers, 1 battery pack with a red and blue wire, a piece of cardboard for the model of the car, two batteries, a motor, a mini ( preferably plastic ) fan, tape, scissors and wheels ( tiny plastic circle with a hole in the middle ). My partner was Spelman and we split our jobs so that I would make the motor and the fan and Spelman would make the car. After we finished we taped everything together and our car was working and it was very fast.
Making the flashlight
The matierals needed were building blocks, 1 LED Light ( Light Emitting Diode ), 1 Motor, Cogs that connect to the motor and spin it and axles. We had to get into groups of three and in my group there was Farzana and Bella. We struggled a bit on getting the light to turn on but after we did we started building the base of the flashlight. After that I came up with a triple cog system idea that was hard to build but we tried it. In the end we didn't complete the flashlight.
