Build a Rubber-Band-Powered Car

Exhibitor

Kariya Boys and Girls Invention Club

Go, rubber band power! Let’s build a cardboard car! Every year, the Kariya Boys and Girls Invention Club holds a Rubber Band Car Race. This time, you’ll build the kind of cardboard car that runs in that race, together with someone from your family. The materials include cardboard, bamboo sticks, and plywood wheels. Everyone uses the same materials, yet every car travels a different distance. The fun part is figuring out how to make yours go farther! Past race champions have made their cars go as far as 20 m with just 3 rubber bands! How far will your car go? It takes about 20–30 minutes to build. No experience needed! Come experience the joy of making things together as parent and child!
