TURN HANDS-ON BUILDS INTO DATA-DRIVEN LEARNING
Reimagine classroom engineering with the DataSnap Air Racer — a hands-on, air-powered alternative to traditional CO₂ car kits. This lab replaces single-use canisters with a reusable, safe, and engaging system that brings physics and engineering concepts to life. Students build their racers using snap-together components and simple tools, then test and refine their designs through real-time data collection. With included NGSS, ISTE, and ITEEA-aligned curriculum, learners explore velocity, acceleration, and force.
