Dragsters are an exciting method to teach the metric system and the design process. Students design and build a prototype and then produce an actual CO2-powered dragster and race it! An illustrated, self-directed student workbook holds the students’ attention as they learn step-by-step automotive-design processes.
Kits and packs are available in balsa wood or basswood and with or without the polystyrene blank.
Storage boxes are included in single kits but are sold separately for 50-packs.
