6. What does the race look like?

7. How can you help your children Plan to have enough time to finish the car for the race. We suggest 4 weeks minimum, best to have an extra week for problems. Know what tools your child can and can’t use do to safety! Ideas have to come from the kids. Clubbers should be allowed to do as much of the construction as possible. You must help the clubber to turn that idea into a plan to scale!

8. How you can help your children Don’t spend too much time on the design, because you need to finish it for the race. Try to make it simple and sturdy for play by the clubber after the race. Don’t try to do a difficult car if your son or daughter isn’t up to it or you don’t have the time. You should pray for help before you try to find that simple grand prix plan, example to the clubber. Adults wheels axles and weights. Clubbers do all else with only help from parents.

9. How you can help your children Help the clubber to draw a plan on card stock to scale, both top and bottom view. Aid them. Don’t do all the work yourself, hold the tool, ruler, than let them draw the line. Help clubbers to plan ahead and follow the schedule. Cars turn in after Check In date (04/28) will not race. Read the race and tips in the hand out. Stress the important of good sportsmanship Enjoy the time working together with your kids

21. Important Put the car away for the race and then after the race the clubber can play with it. If the car gets dropped the wheels will be damage and the car will definitely go slower. Remind your child that this car is their trophy that they keep and should be proud of all, even if they don’t receive an award!
