Pinewood Derby: There’s An App For That…

When it comes to pinewood derbies, there’s an app for that, just like for about everything else these days.

AppCore LLC, an official licensee of the Boy Scouts of America, has created the Pinewood Derby game for the iPad and iPhone.

The app, which debuted in December, allows Scouters to help Cub and Webelos Scouts test their car-building skills just as they would in real life. Boys can learn basic physics by customizing their cars with a variety of wheel dimensions, weight distribution options, axle types, wheel types, and body styles. Quick-race and tournament-play modes give them feedback on what makes a car go fast. And the more a driver wins, the more features he can unlock.

Find the new app by searching for “pinewood derby” at the App Store on your iOS device.
