Creating a course for Electric Car Conversions

[Ben Nelson]

Hello Friends!

As you know, I've built my own Electric Motorcycle and Electric Car, and teach others how they can do the same through self-produced instructional DVDs, YouTube videos, and in person at renewable energy and sustainability events.

I'd like to develop a course or a "Class in a Box" so that any High School Shop or Science teacher or Tech College instructor would be easily able to start a class at their school.

This would involve developing a text or workbook based on the BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC CAR instructional DVD, but would expand on it with vocabulary, activities, chapter tests, etc. It would also mean a curriculum, course outline, and other materials for the instructor to make it as easy as possible for them to hold the class.

Here's where you can help. I'm not a teacher. I don't know the exact requirements that different institutions require in their materials. I do see a need for good training materials and getting the information to where it can do the most good, and I think that for this technology, it's High Schools and Tech Schools. I could use your help in developing these materials and making them appropriate for the educational market.

Please let me know what you think of my idea, and how you can help me with it.

Here's a link to a recent blog post, including a short video, with more information about the project.
