STEAM Night

I went and participated in the STEAM night in my school on February 5, 2019 with my best friend Flo. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

We made air-powered balloon cars and Flo's dad made a ramp for the cars to go on it. The cars were powered with balloon and made from scratch using cardboard wheels, cardboard base, straws and balloon. For one of them plastic bottle covers were used as wheels.
We named the cars after Dog Man characters - Dog Man, Cat Kid, Petey, and 80-HD.

We also made a poster with Bark Night, Melvin, Captain Underpants, Petey, Lightning Dude and the wicked wedgie woman. On the poster we were showing cars on the ramp. The Bark night was under the ramp. On the poster, we asked a question - "What makes the cars go fast?" and the options were, big balloon, small balloon, slope, curvy road, straight, flat surface.  The right answers were - big balloon, slope, straight path and we asked these questions to the people who came to see our project. Scientist and Engineer parents came to interview us also and asked us questions and our hypothesis.
In conclusion, I had an awesome STEAM night.
