STEM Extension Program: Derby 2.0

This program is being re-scheduled.
Please register interest through form below.
(Ages 10 – 15)

.

Join our advanced manufacturing program to develop a vehicle that will
test the limits of Hive’s derby track.
Experience the thrill of the Hive Derby, where our current racers zoom across the 15 meter track at impressive average top speeds of 20 km/hr, crafted from our standard range of materials. Now, we invite the next generation of engineers and technologists to join us in an exciting challenge: design and build your own derby car from scratch! Utilize cutting-edge design processes and apply physics theories to analyze and perfect your creation. In these weekly sessions, participants will work with Hive staff and guest presenters to work through the program below:

Program
Day 1.

• Experimentation & physics – engage experiments in the science of motion in the Science Centre.
•  Engineering – Identify mathematical parameters of vehicle.
•  Design – Conceptual drawing.
• Design & technology – Plasticine sculpture and 3D scanning.

Day 2

• Technology – Vehicle Assemble, 3D printing.
• Experimentation and physics testing on the derby track!

This program is supported by Inspiring Tasmania.
