Cars are a important means of transport in Singapore, apart from its well-established public transport network. This basic automotive workshop introduces the students to how cars operate, learning the principles of motion, understanding car design while the factors that increase the car’s performance. In this workshop the participants will understand and apply science concepts through assembling up a stock car on their own and test it out on the race track. They will get to change their gears and motors to try out. At the end of the workshop a mini race will be conducted and winners will get a prize.
