Electric Cars Lesson 3 of 4 Battery Powered 3D Printed Cars
by Linda Slade
This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They collected data (data sheet included in the lesson). Then, identified variables within their project and made improvements.
