Our Electric Vehicle Build camp is a collaborative, hands-on experience like no other! Campers will start with a gasoline go-kart and by the end of the week, will modify it to drive entirely powered by electricity!
Campers will start by learning about the basic of electronics and circuitry, leading into the components of an electric vehicle, with in depth lessons on steering, breaking, drivetrains, motors, and controls. With this knowledge, campers will design the automotive electrical system, and then through student-driven instruction, will transfer that onto the go-kart. Through experimentation, campers will discover how to assemble every part of the vehicle, learning how to mount the motor and controls with welding and make modifications to the frame from the lens of human factors engineering.
From power, wiring, and electrical components to automation and diagnostics, campers will gain a deep understanding of the technology behind electric vehicles and will leave with the skills and experience to create their own!
As part of the closing program, we go out and drive the go-karts the campers have created - and of course, the parents get to drive too.
