Events › Up and Atom: Balloon-Powered Cars with LeMay - America's Car Museum

Join us at Kobetich for Up and Atom STEAM Days where we try out Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math activities.

Race into learning with balloon-powered cars with educators from LeMay - America's Car Museum! Discover Newton’s Third Law as air pushes out and propels your car forward, and experiment with friction and aerodynamics to fine-tune your speed. Explore kinetic and potential energy as you inflate the balloon, then watch stored energy transform into motion! Hands-on physics has never been this fun—ready, set, inflate!

This program is presented by LeMay - America's Car Museum, funded by the City of Tacoma/Tacoma Creates, and hosted by Tacoma Public Library.
