Making Electric Vehicles 2020: Kart building and driving for a Gran Prix
Making Electric Vehicles 2020 is a course where 40 students between 9- and 16-years old build 14 karts starting from a wooden board. The newly designed karts are completely green, thanks to the wooden chassis and the electric propulsion. This translates into a two-meter-long vehicle with 44 km/h top speed ready for our Xavier Grand Prix. Students are divided into teams that compete for the vehicle technical quality, drivers performance and capability to manage the team (marketing, brand,…). The teachers are volunteers, and the courses are free. Students pay only for materials that become their own Kart.

The students of Making Water Tech 4.0 (10 to 16 years) have built 35 Waterlab: low cost open source floating laboratories (160 €) with recycled materials to monitor pH, Temperature, Turbidity, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, ... .
In Making Space project, 44 children aged 9 to 17 learned to design, build and fly space vectors, and to experience the chemical and physical phenomena of space environments. The project helps our young students enter into the space economy.
