CORI Sail Car Kit
Grades 2–8
Lets go sailing! Explore wind power with this classic engineering project. Share the CORI Sail Car kit with students to seed curiosity and sharpen problem-solving abilities. After building, you can test out sail cars on a windy day outdoors or indoors with hair dryers.
Each CORI kit is designed to engage students in the learning process with building projects that unleash creativity and promote application of practical STEM skills.
Developed and tested by educators and engineers, projects are created with simple, high-quality building components designed to be space-saving, time-efficient, and budget-friendly. The highlight is the CORI cardboard beams, which ship flat (in sheets) and easily fold into strong, lightweight structural elements.
This kit includes:
- 12 CORI beams with tape
- 4 wood dowels
- 4 wood wheels
- 2 mast mounts
- 2 wheel axle brackets
- 1 paper sail
The only other supplies you need are scissors and glue. We recommend using a hot glue gun because of the fast drying time.
You can also supply some art and craft supplies and encourage students to enhance and personalize their creations.
