Problem
Traditional education often lacks interactive, hands-on learning opportunities, particularly in STEM fields, which can hinder student engagement and practical skill development. Students may struggle to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications, limiting their understanding and enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Solution
Lectec provides hands-on STEM educational kits that enable students to build electric skateboards, scooters, and bikes, fostering practical engineering skills through tangible projects. These kits include all necessary parts, tools, and assembly instructions, eliminating the need for soldering or welding and allowing students to quickly engage in the building process. The curriculum aligns with ISTE and NGSS standards, covering topics such as motion, physics, and engineering within a problem-based learning environment. Lectec's modular system allows for the electrification of various objects, encouraging students to explore limitless possibilities beyond the standard kits. Safety is prioritized with features like fire extinguishers built into the battery and riding modes starting at 3 mph.
Target Audience
Lectec's primary audience includes educators in middle schools, high schools, universities, and after-school programs, as well as FRC/FTC teams, camps, and CTE programs seeking engaging, hands-on STEM learning experiences.
