I am thinking of trying this as an open ended engineering challenge for a third grade class I am working with.  The teacher is looking for an additional open ended challenge this year.  We will see if it is doable for most third graders and if the problem is rich enough to allow multiple, feasible designs.  <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsengineer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/WeDo-Car.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsengineer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/WeDo-Car.jpg\" alt=\"WeDo Car\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kidsengineer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/WeDo-Car.jpg 640w, https:\/\/kidsengineer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/WeDo-Car-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For our amusement park ride challenge this year, we had a team make a really nice car.
