Engineers build solutions.
Our Laser Cutter will teach you a new language for building: thin material, very precise cuts. Seems limited, but it's an invitation to lively inventiveness.
The Challenge The Laser Racer
Materials: 9" x 15" Baltic Birch plywood, 1/4" dowels, battery/switch/motor/rubber band.
Adapt and cut wheels, axle supports, a chassis, a motor holder, custom bumpers, a seat and driver. Etch your name or number on your car. Assess your work on our test track.
Learn Inkscape, a design program you can download at home for free. Learn to work within design parameters.
