Many people in the world can’t afford cars and 
therefore must rely on public transportation which can be unreliable which makes it difficult to get to work on time daily as well as accomplish other errands like grocery shopping.
Fuel efficiency also has a huge impact on the environment. If a car is more fuel efficient, it consumes on average less gas and therefore releases less pollution into the air.
Students will design and build the fastest Aluminum Foil Racer powered by a DC motor.
