Good morning.

Well, the good weather hasn't returned yet!

 

Some fun engineering challenges today that can be done indoors.

 

Balloon Car Race

Make and race a balloon-powered car using just a balloon, a plastic cup, straws, thread and rubber bands.

Watch the video to see Dyson engineers supersizing their balloon cars to see if they can win the race.
