Chem in Motion

What it’s all about.

Chem-in-Motion is an exciting and competitive event that blends engineering creativity with fundamental chemical principles. Participants will design and construct a simple car using plastic bottles and other basic materials, harnessing the power of chemical energy for propulsion. The car will be powered by the reaction between vinegar and baking soda, demonstrating an innovative approach to understanding chemical reactions in a practical and entertaining way. The challenge lies in optimizing the design to maximize efficiency and distance travelled.
