What is it and Lesson Flow?

NinjaDragster is a hot new rocket-powered one day class where your children will design and develop Dragsters out of stiff foam.

Plan, design and build what THEY think will go fast...

Learn to use workshop tools to shape their designs: Hacksaws, SANDPAPER, Hot Wire cutters etc.

Launch 1 on our CUSTOM DESIGNED 30 metre Dragster strip with timing measurement.

Develop deep understanding of aerodynamic design THROUGH THEORY AND PRACTICE.

Re-design another Dragster from scratch, this time implementing their new found skills in aerodynamic design.

Launch 2… Question: Will it go faster?

Benefits

Fun and exciting environment nurturing engineering skills to create superfast – jet powered vehicles.

Problem solving: What if anything COULD GO wrong? WHAT DID GO WRONG? What traits are needed and how improvements can be developed.


Learn to logically reason: Drag, friction, gravity, weight, lift and thrust considered for successful outcomes.

Drive creativity: Develop individual and team ideas in design.

Brainstorm: Come up with the best ideas for Launch 2.

Inspiration: Do it and see!


Use of typical workshop tools in a “hands on” environment.

Hugely enthusiastic tutors.

Take home both your dragsters! WHOLE OR IN PIECES!

Safety

All children will be required to obey all safety briefings at all times.

Eye protection goggles will be provided from time to time AS NEEDED throughout the day.

New hygienic masks PER INDIVIDUAL will be provided for each child when near cutting/shaping equipment.
