2017 Central Texas Pathfinders Pinewood Derby
The Central Texas Pathfinder Pinewood Derby will be held in the Autumn of 2017.
The Pinewood Derby is a fun way to have a little friendly competition, but also an opportunity to practice woodworking skills, creativity, physics, engineering, artistry, and good sportsmanship. The top teams from the CTX Area competition will be able to participate at the Conference level at the Texas Conference Camporee in 2018. While working on your cars, why not also work on the Pinewood Derby Honor (and if inspired, expand out to work on Wood Carving or Wood Handicraft honors as well).
