For our building challenge, all materials will be provided for you. Some of the items will already have pre-made holes so we don't have to worry about sharp objects. Everything else will be up to you to follow the steps and use your ingenuity to make the racecar work. At the end when all the cars are working and decorated, we'll have a race to see who's is the fastest and you get to take your racecar home!
