[Report] After-School Creative Project

From a CANVAS Facebook post

[After-School Creative Project]
Summer vacation has started, hasn't it?
Today, I went to the Bag Cultivation Room.

We took on the challenge of designing our very own cars that run on air.
We started
with experiments—learning about the power of air using an air cannon and studying vehicles that use
air as a model.
Afterward, we used what we learned from the experiments to come up with creative designs.
I was amazed at just how many different kinds of cars we could create. The structures we built were the result of
everyone thinking things through carefully.
