Young Engineers: The Best Rubber Band Car - Hands-On Engineering Project for Kids and Middle School

More STEM projects for kids: Large wheel sets: Wood cubes: Glue gun: The Young Engineers series is a collection of STEM Projects that I developed while teaching K-6 students. Every project uses the same set of inexpensive materials so it’s cost effective for parents and educators to do multiple projects or teach large groups. Printable lesson plans and project picture sheets are available at Rubber Band Car: Finally, a rubber band-powered car that works the way you expect: fast, far-traveling, and fun! Modify the design to make it race to the finish line, or add extra weight to increase its momentum and overall travel distance!
