A fantastic STEAM competition experience
On competition day, all teams pull out all the stops to create the fastest rocket car! Students had to build a model rocket car within a limited time, including cutting and polishing the rocket car and installing the wheels. The competition tested students' mastery of STEAM knowledge and their collaboration skills to work together as a team!

 

Heat it up with your wows and hurrahs!
In addition to adding special designs and decorations to their rocket cars, the participating teams also came up with creative slogans to cheer for their rocket cars and to compete for "The Amazing Design Award" and "The Hurrah Slogan Award"! Some teams even made their own banners to add to the atmosphere of the competition. All students were thrilled and impassioned about the event!

 

FIRE! Witness the fastest record made!
Witnessing their own rocket cars being ignited, launched and flew forward at lightning speed, the students felt extremely excited and amazed!
