Truck Builder teaches principles involved in building powerful, aerodynamic,
efficient and safe trucks. It enhances problem-solving skills, and fosters
an elementary knowledge of physics and automotive design.
Truck designs and
test results can be printed, compared, and stored for later use or modification.
