One effort to reducing air pollution and global warming in recent years has centered on the replacement of fossil-fuel-burning vehicles with alternative energy options such as electric-powered transportation. In fact, electric vehicle technology is one of the fastest-growing, and ever-evolving, sectors of the energy industry (TR Fastenings, 2019). With the need to prepare the next generation of students with the knowledge and skills they need to work and thrive in the future, it seems there is no better time than now to bring electric vehicle technologies to the classroom. This article discusses how students can expand their knowledge and experience in alternative energy as they work in a technology and engineering education (TEE) setting to design, build, test, and race an electric go-kart. This lesson, which builds on the alternative energy movement, provides students the opportunity to connect with core technology and engineering concepts and practices while creating innovative solutions for a global issue connected with transportation in the future.
