Have you ever given thoughts on how to engage students in the classroom? Or maybe even how you can get your child interested in math or science? If you are like most people, this is either a struggle that you have or it is something that you have thought about at least once.

Using model electric cars to teach math and science in the classroom

Now teachers who teach math and science are learning new ways to do this. In California, more than a dozen teachers went back to school on a Saturday to see how they can incorporate model electric cars into their math and science classes. This was a program that is funded by the state. To learn more about this program, read more here in this article.

Educators say building the small, battery-operated cars will provide a hands-on experience for students learning math, science and physics.

Key takeaways

  1. Teachers went back to school to learn how to incorporate the building of model electric cars into their lessons.
  2. The program that allowed these teachers to learn this was a state grant facilitated by Project Clean Air.
  3. The teachers learned how to build the cars, received material to make lesson plans, and the supplies to help build 15 other cars in their classroom.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
