Revving Up with Balloon-Powered Cars!

  • Workshop

Get ready for a hands-on adventure that will ignite creativity and STEM skills like never before! In our thrilling at home activity, children become engineers, designers, and innovators as they dive into the exciting world of balloon-powered cars.

Each child receives their very own kit, packed with everything they need to construct their own unique balloon-powered car from scratch. From wheels to axles, and of course, the star of the show – the balloons – every component is carefully selected to inspire imaginative engineering.

Allow young minds to embark on a journey of discovery, learning how simple principles of physics and engineering come together to power their creations. As they assemble their cars, they explore concepts like aerodynamics, friction, and propulsion, all while exercising critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
