What Is STEP? Sustainable Education Transportation Program Hands on inquiry challenge for middle and high school students to explore electric and solar options for the future Students are challenged to re-design or build a small remotely controlled car Students design a solar charging station Students enter their work into a competition at NC State Lots of support and help throughout the project Lots of fun for teachers and students Lots of brainstorming and creating Encourages an interest in STEM education

SPONSORS

Why Teach about Electric Vehicles? Preparing a future workforce Informed consumers Technologically fluent society

Mission of STEP Creating an educational pathway for students in electrification of transportation Engaging and immersing students through a minds-on, hands-on program through research, collaboration and competition Encourages students to consider responsible use of environmental resources

Winners On Display at NC Museum of Life and Science Middle School Winner High School Winner

Solar Charging Station: Our First Attempt! Schools are given a solar panel Students design an efficient charging station

One of our Cars: Students Designed Two on Our First Attempt! High school students are given a small car Middle school students build their own car

STEP: Preparing for the Future Innovation – re-work or build a small battery run car Creativity – design a solar charging station Soft skills – keep a technical report, writing, communicating Technologically literate society and skilled workforce

WHO IS PARTICIPATING IN STEP? Currently- 18 Middle Schools 14 High Schools North Carolina and Maryland

Standards-based Curriculum Battery technologies Virtual and physical modeling Data collection, analysis, and interpretation Charging stations Different types technologies e.g.,PEVs, REVs, PHEVs Smart Grid STEM careers Design
