The Objective
The Objective of the activity is to design different types of cars that prevent causing injuries to the dummy inside it.One has to design t Adjust the length and stiffness of the crumple zone and the rigidity of the safety cell to determine how the car will deform during the crash. Add seat belts and/or airbags to prevent the dummy from hitting the steering wheel. Three different body types (sedan, SUV, and subcompact) are available and a wide range of crash speeds can be used.

What did I learn?
During this activity I have learned that what type of process do engineers, car designers & manufacturers go through to make the passengers safe. I also learnt about different structural parts of the car which make the people inside it safe like Crumple Zone, Safety Cell and Its rigidity and seat-belts, airbags. Also, the type of laws of physics go into this crash test and building a car like velocity, force and deceleration.
