Sellersburg Tween/Teen Potato Derby

A Potato Derby is a classic STEM activity where kids design and build their own potato-powered vehicles or contraptions, then race them to see whose engineering works best. This hands-on event lets tweens and teens experiment with basic physics, mechanics, and problem-solving in a fun, competitive format. Families can expect to see creativity and friendly competition as kids test their designs and learn from what works—and what doesn't. It's a great way to spark interest in engineering and have fun with science at the same time.
