Day OneCar design and building the frame
- The history of cars and their main parts, and comparing a kart with a car
- Why 3D printing matters and its uses
- Chassis components and their functions
- Starting to assemble the chassis frame
3D-Printed Go-Kart Building Camp
Be a car engineer, and build your own kart
3D-printed parts that snap together like blocks, but this time they make a real go-kart the child sits on and drives. Over 4 days, students learn the history and parts of cars, build the chassis, drive and steering systems, discover the secrets of 3D-printed manufacturing, and at the end each child takes their car home.
4days
3hours a day
3+From grade 3
1An electric kart for every child
Grade 2 and below: the child needs an adult's help with assembly.
Camp highlights
Real learning, real driving
🧠 Multidisciplinary knowledge
Mechanical structures, industrial design, 3D printing, electrical circuits and the drive system, and using real tools.
🔧 From zero to a complete car
Students measure, calculate and assemble the car and its control circuit themselves, like real engineers, growing their hands-on and design-thinking skills.
🖨️ 3D design
Each child designs a custom part for their car, such as the number plate or key base, then prints it, learning coordinates, rotation and scaling.
🏁 A big toy to take home
An electric kart that drives forward and back and turns, charges at home and is used in open areas, and can be upgraded by printing new parts.
The program
4 days, from idea to finish line
Day One
Day TwoThe body and 3D design
- Using tools safely and the workflow
- Completing the car body assembly
- Principles of 3D printing
- Designing a custom kart part (a plate or key base) in TinkerCAD and printing it
Day ThreeThe drive system and seat
- Fitting the seat and backrest
- Fitting the electric drive system
- Drive system components and their functions
- Electrical circuit basics and safety rules
Day FourSteering and the race
- How the steering system works (Ackermann steering)
- Fitting the steering system
- Daily car maintenance
- Test drive, a team race and the project presentation
If no 3D printer is available, the design part on day two is shortened (1.5 to 2 hours). Meet our 3D printers
