Race Car Physics & 3D Printing Session 1
Tech Revolution STEM Summer Camps at WashU in St. Louis
Date/Time: Jul 6 - 10, 2026 9:00am - 3:00pm
Ages:
7-10
Cost: $749.00
Calling all future engineers and race car enthusiasts (ages 7–10)! Get ready for a week of high-octane design where you’ll explore the entire car creation process. Using Hotwheels as inspiration, you’ll first sketch concepts on drawing tablets, then sculpt a large-scale 3D prototype using air-dry clay. The design challenge culminates as you learn to digitally model and bring a component or miniature version of your car to life using our 3D printers! Along the way, you’ll learn key engineering principles like aerodynamics, safety features, different drivetrains, and the science behind combustion, hybrid, and electric engines. The week finishes with a massive collaboration: using cardboard and MakeDo kits, you’ll team up to design and construct an epic, custom race track to test the final fleet of cars. If you love building, creating, and learning how things work, this is your ultimate challenge!
