Our church put on a derby car race for one of their Wednesday night kids activities. You can purchase a pack that came with the car shape, wheels, and axles. Then you had to create it how you wanted to make it go as fast as possible on the racetrack at church. After watching a Youtube video and talking through their ideas with Jeff, Claire and Karsen got to work designing their cars. Jeff did a wonderful job of letting them figure things out and think through their ideas.
The finished cars!!! They both came in weighing exactly 5 ounces! Claire named hers the Mermaid and Karsen called hers Holo. Claire ended up coming in 4th place and Karsen in 6th. The funny part is that another friend, Addison H from swim, decided to join the Wednesday night program the week before the car race. Jeff got her a car kit and took about 30 min to slap together a car. Turns out, this care came in 1st place! Addison was super embarrassed when she had to go up to the front to claim a huge trophy for something she didn't even make! It is a story we will remember for a long time!
