This package gives you all the supplies and the curriculum you need for 30 students and 1 instructor in the Build Smart EV Micro-Kart Course. The classroom package includes 30 EV Micro-Kart Kits, 30 micro:bit v2s, one EV Micro-Kart Course Supplies Pack, and one instructor license for the EV Micro-Kart Course curriculum. 

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
