EV Innovators Club

The EV Innovators Club by Legacy EV is a comprehensive, project-based learning (PBL) lab specifically engineered for middle school students. This all-in-one solution provides educators with the hardware, software, and curriculum needed to guide students through the high-voltage world of electric vehicle (EV) technology.

By merging hands-on mechanical assembly with gamified electrical theory, students don’t just read about the future of transportation: they build, program, and drive it.

  • What’s Included?

    • The EV Innovators Club is a “lab-in-a-box” designed for seamless classroom integration.
      • Electric Go-Kart Kit: A complete set of professional-grade parts, tools, and components. Students assemble a fully functional EV, learning the mechanics of steering, braking, and electric drivetrains.
      • Turnkey Curriculum: Save hundreds of hours in prep time with instructor overviews, structured lab activities, student logbooks, digital simulations, and summative assessments.
      • Professional Lab Equipment: Safety is paramount. Every kit includes PPE bundles, electrical testing instruments (multimeters), and specialized safety equipment to ensure a professional shop environment.
  • Why Choose the EV Innovators Club?

    • Engaging Hands-On Learning: Students master complex concepts in circuits, mechanical engineering, and sustainable energy through direct application.
    • Standards-Aligned Excellence: Our curriculum is mapped to core STEM standards, ensuring that while students are having fun building a kart, they are meeting critical benchmarks in Physical and Life Sciences.
