Bring thrill to your classroom or competition with CO2 dragsters! Dragsters are an exciting method to teach the design process. Students design a prototype and then produce an actual CO2-powered dragster and race it!

Single kits and 50-packs are available in Fusion, balsa wood, and basswood. All three blanks are officially approved by the Technology Student Association (TSA) for use in CO2 dragster competition!

Our illustrated, self-directed student workbook holds the students’ attention as they learn step-by-step automotive-design processes, incorporating both English and Metric measurement. The CO2 Dragster User Guide is available for print here, or you can download a digital copy for free here.

The 50-pack also acts as an excellent refill pack for your Getting Started package.

NOTE: These packs are replacements of the Metric and LSRAV Dragster packs.

I think personally when students see us modeling SEL concepts, it’s setting the example/precedent. I believe some of the most valuable and memorable experiences for my students is when we are working through projects or an experiment and what I do doesn’t work the first or second (or third or fourth) time. They get to watch how I handle the slight setbacks and see how I work to improve.
