Pinewood Derby Workshops

Super-charge your Pinewood Derby cars in our MakerSpace and learn the science that will help your car beat the clock! Our staff will lead you through fun and important concepts like aerodynamics, balance, weight placement, and more. Register for one of our Saturday Workshops or contact us at bookit@scitechdiscovery.org to organize a private date for your group.

Workshops include designing and cutting your car (Sci-Tech staff will use heavy machinery), weight placement, sanding, and wheel lubrication. Staff will demonstrate the use of smaller tools, which participants will handle. (Kits and weights must be purchased separately.)
