We had an incredible time hosting our Maker Night in the Makerspace, where participants took part in a Mini Propeller Car Workshop, exploring the mechanics of innovation! Students designed, built, and raced their very own propeller-powered cars, learning the basics of aerodynamics, propulsion, and design along the way. The energy and enthusiasm were fantastic as each car raced to the finish line! A huge thanks to everyone who joined us, stay tuned for the next Maker Night and other exciting HBEC events to come!
