These students, aged 14-15 from the secondary school "A. BERENINI" in FIDENZA, near Parma, designed and printed these objects as part of the Erasmus+ Project PRINT STEM (www.printstemproject.eu). The activity was carried out within the Erasmus Print Stem initiative. Intellectual Output N.3: Pupil-led S.T.E.M. subjects experimentation led to some amazing results. The students decided to print a "trolley" that could slide on the frictionless rail used in their Physics laboratory to study motion, but they gave it a twist - it became a "sailing trolley". The purpose of this object was to study air resistance, or drag. To create air resistance while moving on the rail through the air, the students designed sails and added a sphere, an airplane, a car, or other objects to carry. Their creativity was impressive, but unfortunately, it was too great to use all these objects in a short-term scientific research. To make sure the trolley fit perfectly with the rail, the students took precise measurements of dimensions and weight. If the trolley was too heavy, the air pillow on which it moved couldn't support it, and if it was too light, its motion wouldn't be regular.
