Fun Friday - Rubberband Powered Boats

Build it, wind it, race it! In this splash-worthy MakerClass, kids will assemble a rubber band-powered wooden boat and then put it to the test in our water racing lanes or kiddie pool.

This is a simple, beginner-friendly project—perfect for young makers dipping their toes into hands-on building. With just a few parts and plenty of imagination, kids will explore how stored energy can launch their boat across the water.

Adult Supervision:

Kids age 7 and under must have an adult on site during the class.

What’s Included:

A wooden boat kit powered by rubber bands
Help from friendly Area 59 instructors
Boat racing lanes and/or a kiddie pool for testing
A fun introduction to basic engineering and motion

Let’s build and race some boats—reserve your spot and join us for a splash of fun!
