Juniors! At this in-person badge workshop you’ll learn about air
power and create an alternative fuel car. Along with fellow interested
scientists you’ll learn about potential and kinetic energy, design and
build a balloon car, test your balloon-powered car and analyze and
share results. This engineering process will then lead you to
brainstorm ways to improve your design for a second try! When you've
earned this badge, you'll know how to engineer a balloon-powered car
and understand potential energy, kinetic energy, and jet
propulsion.
