Cubs Scouts met tonight at the high school to cut out the pinewood derby cars. This time, Alex listened to me a little better, and he designed a car with a low, sleek profile that should go pretty fast. I'm also going to look into a few of the tips and tricks for making a pinewood derby car go faster and see what I can do to speed his car up. We also had a few more activities going on in the wood shop this time, to stretch things out and keep the kids interested a bit more than we usually do, and prevent the screwing around that always happens otherwise, not good for a wood shop. There were tool demonstrations and safety presentations, and I was running a little contest of sorts where I taught kids how to drive a nail into a stack of boards with a hammer, and then they raced to see who could drive it all the way in fastest. That seemed to be a big hit, no pun intended.
