Yes, now you have the opportunity to build a better mousetrap.
That is, you will be building a better mousetrap car using TeacherGeek gears,
pulleys, wheels and
other unique build components. Apply the science
of kinetic and potential energy, simple machines and friction as
you design, construct and even reengineer the ultimate mousetrap
vehicle.

Cars
Yes,
now you have the opportunity to build a better mousetrap. That is, you will be
building a better mousetrap car using TeacherGeek components. Start by building
the sturdy chassis from the included connector strips, dowels, perpendicular
adaptors and wheels. Add mousetrap power and experiment with the included gears
and other unique build components to allow the racer to go
farther, faster or pull a load. If more traction is desired, install the
included wheel tires. Apply the science of kinetic and potential
energy, simple machines and friction as you design, construct and even
reengineer the ultimate mousetrap vehicle.

Innovation
Components
Innovation components allow for greater alternative
and innovative designs. The components listed below are not required but are
suggested to bring more engineering and innovation to the mousetrap vehicle
activity. Only a few innovation components are usually needed to create
alternative designs. Keep in mind that your supply of innovation components
can be used over and over again for many types of Teachergeek activities. Here
are some recommendations:
