Instructor Curriculum
ev innovators club
The EV Innovators Club is a 15-lesson, NGSS- and CTE-aligned curriculum designed for middle school students to explore the science, engineering, and future of electric vehicles. Through hands-on building, testing, and modeling, students investigate how EVs store and transfer energy, how systems work together to move the vehicle, and how clean transportation connects to sustainability. The unit builds from foundational science to real-world engineering applications, culminating in a Team Efficiency Challenge.
