As the weather starts to cool down, kids will be spending much more time indoors. But it's important to keep those curious young minds engaged with exciting projects that you can create together.
As part of Ford Science in a Snap, they're showing kids how to make their own fun cars — small ones, of course — at home in hopes of inspiring them to become innovators and spark their interest in the world of automotive.
This series of quick videos demonstrates how innovation is built on STEAM principles — science, technology, engineering, art and math — and focuses on merging the arts and sciences. Plus, it's actually something they will want to play with when it's done!
According to Ford's website, "By providing the right opportunities and resources, we can inspire more kids to become innovators, problem solvers and big dreamers."
In this video, you can learn how magnetic fields work to both attract and repel.
Kids will have a blast using this concept to create a car that can move through the power of the magnetic forces.
It's the perfect craft for little automotive enthusiasts. Plus, it gets kids thinking about STEAM concepts throughout the creative process.
It's a win-win for everyone, and a craft you can be excited to make with your kids (or grandkids.)
Watch the video with your little ones to help explore their interests and get the creative juices flowing.
