Slingshot Car ( English )
hello, this is our slingshot car! we participated in a project called "stem engineering" so, we created this to engage Cambodian children into creative activities. I guarantee that it is easy to make. all the materiel are also easy to find in Cambodia, so I hope we all can make it together.
these are my team members:
- Pollak Raksa Chea
- Vicheat Chornson Sum
-Virakbandith Thay
Things That You Will Need:
there are some more alternatives that you can have. feel free to use anything that you think can work instead of the one we have in the photo.

Stick the Craft Stick Together, to Make Two Squares Shape That Connect to Each Other Like in the Picture.
you can stick into any shape that you want. example:

- .......
Measure Your Chopstick With the Width of the Shape That You Created and Then Cut It If Its Too Long
if the chopstick is not that long, you don't have to cut it.
Cut 7-8cm of the Plastic Straw, and Then Put the Chopstick In, So It Can Help the Chopstick to Move Easier
If the Chopstick Is Too Thick, Just Sharpen It to Make It Smaller
if it can roll smoothly inside the straw, you don't have to sharpen it
Poke the Bottle Cap in the Middle With Knife or Scissor, So You Can Connect the Chopstick With It
Or you can use anything that have sharp ending point to poke the middle of the cap
After You Connected It, Stick the Whole Thing at the Two Ending Side of the Shape That You Created.
After You’re Done With All of Thing, This Is the Look That You Should Get
