[quote=Anonymous]Camp Snyder is another option for Pinewood Derby workshops. I am a mom who loves tools and has a background in physics. I have a son with mild cerebral palsy and little depth perception that I would rather him not handle a driven blade of any sort, if I can help it. He picks a reasonable design, does all of the sanding, car cleaning, cleaning up after my cutting, and painting. I do the fine tuning. I went over the science behind the shape of the car, friction, and energy, the type and placement of weights, and the honing of the wheels and axles. There are some very helpful videos out there. My other son is 7 in second grade and he's not old enough to handle any blade yet other than a butter knife.[/quote]
