Program Description

Event Details

What's a "Wind Car"? Well, it's a kind of car that only you can create that is powered by wind - or, in this case, a box fan. With a little science, technology, engineering, and math - we'll see what we can put together and how far it will go. 

Join us on Friday, April 10th as we create, test, and evaluate our very own Wind Cars.  

Registration opens for Manheim Township and East Lampeter residents on Wednesday, April 25th at 9:00 AM and on Wednesday, April 1st at 9:00 AM for all other residents.
