MVCTC Satellite News - Bethel STEM Students Build Electric Car Prototypes
Bethel-MVCTC STEM for grades 7-12 includes Design & Modeling, Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Automation & Robotics, PLTW Engineering Principals, Engineering Design, Robotics, and Computer Integrated Manufacturing. This past school year, Bethel-MVCTC STEM students built Electric Car Prototypes. Students were challenged with designing, 3D modeling, constructing, and testing a new fan-powered/electric car prototype. The car needed to move forward using a 9V battery and have at least one toggle switch for the motor. Students had to include a separate circuit with a switch or button that activated the LED headlights and taillight when pressed, have a minimum of 4 soldered electrical connections, must travel 50 feet, and must not exceed the materials budget of $50. Bethel-MVCTC Students Sam Blackburn and Eli Sherck are pictured testing their prototype.
