關於跑車和超級跑車（5天營）

Vroom vroom! This is the in-depth version of my introductory Sports Cars course, although it is not necessary to take that one first. Students will learn about fast cars, and will make friends based on their mutual interest. We will learn about and discuss:

The history, characteristics, and uses of sports cars
Car Science: torque, horsepower, drag, lift, and what makes a car go fast
Day 1 - Italy: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Pagani, De Tomaso...
Day 2 - England: McLaren, Lotus, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Land Rover...
Day 3 - Germany & Europe: Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Bugatti, Koenigsegg...
Day 4 - Car Science + Japan: Toyota, Lexus, Acura, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru...
Day 5 - USA: Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Hennessy, SSC, Muscle Cars...

We will meet once per week, and this will be an interactive lesson, with lots of student discussion about their opinions, favorite (types of) cars and comparing their answers. We will use a slideshow format that is heavy on images, and some video clips as well.

No previous knowledge is required, except for an interest in cars that go fast and look cool. Students are welcome and encouraged to bring toy models, hot wheels, images, and any examples of cars to show in class.
