OLEAN â For close to 10 years, the Dream It Do It Western New York program has instructed area students participating in the DIDI 500 project, which essentially teaches them how to build model cars powered by rubber bands.
As with projects conducted by DIDI-WNY this year, video instruction has been provided for the construction of cars due to social distancing needed to meet Covid-19 guidelines. In past years, students had attended St. Bonaventure University to construct the DIDI 500 vehicles for the competition.
The program was created in 2012 by the universityâs ENACTUS Club, whose club members and area manufacturers would assist school students with building the little cars. Dream It Do It was created in past years with the premise of promoting STEM-related careers for students.
