Bunka Kids · for girls and boys

If you study, you'll be able to fix cars… and design rockets and spaceships!

Every car, plane and rocket that exists was invented by someone who was once a child, like you. What you learn at school is your toolbox for building the future.

🖍 See the drawings to color Print the booklet (14 sheets)

Your school superpowers

Every subject is useful for something very real in a workshop… or in a spaceship!

📏Math

To measure, calculate and make every bolt the exact size. One millimeter too many and the part won't fit!

🔬Science

To understand why a car stops, why a boat floats and how a rocket takes off.

📖Spanish and reading

To read manuals, follow instructions step by step and explain your ideas to your team.

🌎English

Many engine, plane and spaceship manuals come in English. With it you can work in any country!

✏️Drawing

Every car started as a drawing on paper. Today engineers also draw on the computer.

🤝Teamwork

Nobody builds a rocket alone. Listening, helping and sharing are also learned at school.

The road to becoming a great mechanic

Step by step, like on a highway. Every year you study you go one kilometer further.

1Primary school
You learn to read, to add up and to ask «why?». And to take toys apart… with permission!
2Middle school
Physics, chemistry and math: you discover how things move and what they are made of.
3High school or technical high school
You can study auto mechanics, electrical work or electronics, with practice in the workshop.
4University
Mechanical, automotive, mechatronics or aerospace engineering. That's where you learn to design!
🏁You, in the future!
You fix cars, design electric cars, build robots… or send a ship into space.

Did you know…?

A car's body in red, without wheels or engine

This is the body: the «skeleton» of a car, without wheels, engine or seats. Every one of its parts was first drawn by an engineer.

How many parts do you think a whole car has? Tap to see the answer

About 30,000! Counting every bolt, every spring and every little bulb. And a good mechanic knows what each one is for.

🏎️

In Formula 1, the pit crew changes all 4 tires in under 3 seconds. That takes practice and teamwork!

🏭

Mexico makes more than 3 million cars every year. It is one of the countries that makes the most cars in the world.

✈️

In Querétaro, Chihuahua and other states, Mexican engineers make airplane parts.

🚀

To stay in orbit around the Earth, a rocket has to travel at about 28,000 kilometers per hour.

👩‍🚀

Rodolfo Neri Vela (1985) and Katya Echazarreta (2022) are Mexicans who traveled to space. Both of them studied engineering.

🚗

The first gasoline-powered car was built by Karl Benz in 1886. It had only 3 wheels!
