Mr. Rieckhoff’s seventh grade technology class at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School transformed the hallway into a racetrack as students tested their rubber band-powered cars. After weeks of designing and building their vehicles using saws, drills and hand tools, the students were ready to wind them up and watch them race.

Each student brought their creativity to life, designing cars inspired by their favorite TV shows, movies and even candy. They experimented with different combinations of wheels and rubber bands to maximize distance, with several cars traveling an impressive 60 feet. This hands-on project showcased engineering, creativity and a whole lot of fun.
