In this project we had to build a car that was only powered by a mouse trap and could reach 15 feet in a short amount of time. My final car was challenging to make because I had to come up with a new design after my original one didn’t work.

The first thing I did was draw my design on a piece of paper. After that I gathered all the supplies I needed to make my car. I measured and cut the wood and glued everything together. I tested out my car but it wasn’t working so I tried to change it up. I re-did my car and this one was way much better. I wanted to build a car that would go fast so I had to make it very light but also sturdy enough so it would go straight and not all over the place. My project in the end passed but it wasn’t the best. It went 19 feet in total but it kept turning to the left.
