The Build Smart EV Micro-Kart FLASH curriculum puts your students in the driver’s seat as they build and code their own electric go-karts. The curriculum walks you through each step so you can enjoy the experience alongside your students. It teaches students about the Engineering Design Process through hands-on, project-based learning. Using the 5E lesson plan format (Engage, Explore, Explain, Engineer, Evaluate), students work through a series of activities that leads them to the creation of a fully functioning electric kart. The course implements standards from ISTE, NGSS, CCSS, STEL, and CSTA. The short course can be used for:
- Introductory units on environmental and mechanical engineering
- Out-of-school STEM-based activities (4H, Boys and Girls Club, etc.)
- Virtual instruction
- Hybrid instruction
- Library youth programming
- Professional development for educators
- STEM classrooms
$499.00 – $1,299.00
The Build Smart EV Micro-Kart Course curriculum is designed for high school students to learn mechanical engineering, coding and circuits. It gives students the full experience of building and coding their own electric go-karts. Using the 5E lesson plan format (Engage, Explore, Explain, Engineer, Evaluate), students work through a series of activities that leads them to the creation of a fully functioning electric kart. The course implements standards from ISTE, NGSS, CCSS, STEL, and CSTA.
$130.00 – $149.00
The EV Micro-Kart Course is made for high school students to learn mechanical engineering, coding and circuits. Students experience the Engineering Design Process as they design and 3D-print their own kart chassis and toppers. (Students also have the option to construct their chassis out of thin cardboard if a 3D printer is not available). Students will outfit their karts with headlights, taillights, and a variable-speed motor, using a breadboard to create circuits and using a micro:bit to code and control the actions of these systems. Finally, students use the micro:bit to analyze the performance of their karts via data collection and visualization. Along the way, students consider the important factors involved in constructing an EV kart and preparing for a big race, exploring subjects like:
- 3D modeling
- Engineering tolerances
- Power transmission and consumption
- Braking and steering systems
- Pulley ratios
$80.00 – $129.00
The EV Micro-Kart FLASH is a perfect introduction to coding, circuits, and mechanical engineering for middle and high school students. Students experience the Engineering Design Process as they create a chassis out of cardboard (a 3D-printed option is also provided), add a motor and pulleys, and then code a micro:bit to give it headlights, taillights, and speed control. This FLASH course is ideal for:
- STEM classrooms
- Library programming
- Summer camps
- Coding clubs
- Virtual instruction
- Homeschools or Microschools
- Professional development to introduce teachers to coding
$129.00 – $1,299.00
The Build Smart Clubhouse is a middle school curriculum that gets students designing and building their own automated clubhouses. They learn the fundamentals of construction and architecture as they build their structures using industry standards. Next, students incorporate computer science skills as they code a micro:bit and sensor technology to automate their clubhouses with a thermostat, fan, lighting, and doorbell. The clubhouse curriculum works in various settings, whether you are fully virtual, hybrid, or in a traditional classroom. The curriculum can serve as a semester-long STEM or CTE course or be implemented within an existing core course. It is also perfect for out-of-school activities, such as: - 4H - Girls and Boys Clubs - Girl and Boy Scouts of America - Coder Dojo - Summer camps - Library programming View the clubhouse in action with this video by our own Dr. Jake.
$105.00 – $139.00
The Build Smart Clubhouse Kit is equipped with everything each student needs to build their own model clubhouse and automate it using sensor technology.
