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.
  • Professional Development: You don’t need to be an EV expert to teach this course. Legacy EV provides full teacher training and ongoing support to ensure your lab is a success from day one.
  • Career Ready Skills: From algebra to collaborative innovation, students develop the soft and hard skills required for the modern workforce.

• Core Learning Dimensions

  • The EV Innovators Club bridges the gap between theoretical science and real-world engineering:

• Drive Learning Forward

  • The EV Innovators Club is more than a kit; it’s a pathway to sparking lifelong curiosity. By creating a tangible vehicle prototype, students gain a profound understanding of how green technology will shape their world.
