This workshop gives educators the unique opportunity to build their own working scale model go-kart. After constructing the kart chassis, participants will install mechanical components like wheels, axles, and pulleys, learning about pulley ratios and their impact on torque and speed performance along the way. They will then install several electronic components onto the chassis (motor, breadboard, resistor, transistor, potentiometer, and LEDs) with the end goal of creating headlights, taillights, and a variable-speed motor for their karts. Finally, participants use...
