CAR RACING WORKSHOP
Course Information
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 modifying the stock cars, changing gear ratios and switching motors, and testing them out on the race track.

Participants will be taught to take apart the stock car, to observe the gear interaction with the wheels. They will then fix on different gear sets and motors to test the performance.
Participants of this workshop will learn physics concepts like Newton's law of motions, gear ratio and motor torque. They will see the effect as they modify the car and test it on the track.
