Project Title: Dragster Flow Tunnel
Teacher: Jon Hennen
School: Discovery Middle School
Students Impacted: 180 students in grades 7-8
Amount Funded: $2,495
Students will engage in hands-on learning by utilizing a flow visualization tunnel provided by AEF to enhance the design and performance of their CO2 dragsters. The project aims to integrate principles of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics into traditional CO2 dragster design process, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing drag, resistance, and aerodynamic efficiency.
