Drive STEM Learning Forward with the Lectec Electric Vehicle Kit
Fuel curiosity and creativity with this hands-on electric vehicle kit! Students explore energy, circuitry, and mechanics by building and testing their own motorized car.
The Lectec STEM Electric Vehicle Kit delivers an exciting and practical introduction to real-world STEM concepts through the lens of transportation and engineering. Designed to engage students in grades 5–9, this kit goes far beyond the textbook by giving learners the opportunity to build and power their own electric car.
As they assemble their vehicle, students investigate the science behind motors, batteries, pulleys, wheels, torque, and circuitry. They’ll test designs, make modifications, and explore how changing components impacts speed, direction, and energy efficiency. Whether you’re integrating this into your science, technology, or engineering curriculum—or offering it as part of an after-school program—this kit sparks innovation and critical thinking.
Perfect for classrooms, makerspaces, and homeschool settings, the Lectec Electric Vehicle Kit encourages problem-solving, collaboration, and exploration. With reusable components and a full set of instructions, it’s an engaging, repeatable activity that supports key science and engineering standards.
