Billy Carts

Build, test and drive in our engaging and longest running incursion

Billy carts is easily adaptable and will vary depending on your focus.  Students might like to investigate the different properties and materials of types of vehicles or race against the clock as they follow a procedure or a design brief. 

 
All students will spend time using tools and hardware in the workshop to create their own vehicles and simple machines and of course everyone (including teachers!) will have the opportunity to jump on the billy carts and burn around our track!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

All the students were all definitely engaged and also learnt many science facts as well. It was all handled very professionally and teachers were able to just observe without having to intervene or having to run experiments.

Casey Grammar School

It was a very engaging experience for our students, particularly those students typically difficult to engage.

St. Mary's Dandenong

Thanks to Mel, the students loved the experience. It's great to know that they will remember the experience and have a vice (their take-home crystals) to use to bring them happy thoughts in times of sadness/anger! Hopefully we will have a unit next year that will be enhanced by one of your programs.
