Build the Car
Students assemble the chassis, connect the motors, and design the layout so every component has a purpose.
June 14 - June 28 · Ages 10-15
Web-Controlled RC Lab Car
Students build an ESP32-powered RC car, wire the electronics, and create a browser-based control system that drives real hardware.
What Students Will Learn
ESP32
Students use the ESP32 as the brain of the RC car, learning how a microcontroller can receive commands and control real hardware.
Wi-Fi and Access Points
Students learn how the car creates or connects to a network so a phone or computer can send driving commands through a browser.
Motor Controls
Students wire and test motors, then program speed and direction controls so the car can move, turn, stop, and respond reliably.
Electrical Engineering
Students explore voltage, resistance, power, and safe wiring choices while troubleshooting the electrical system inside their build.
Circuit Diagrams
Students read and create simple circuit diagrams so they can understand how each component connects before building the physical car.
Coding
Students write code that connects the web controls to the ESP32, practicing logic, debugging, and testing with immediate real-world feedback.
What Students Learn
A real engineering project from code to competition.
Control It From a Browser
They program commands that travel from a web page to the ESP32, turning code into movement they can test immediately.
Understand the Electronics
The workshop introduces voltage, resistance, potentiometers, and troubleshooting through hands-on circuit work.
Compete and Improve
On the final day, students test their cars in a friendly competition and refine their designs based on performance.
Workshop Schedule
Two Weeks from Foundations to Race Day
The first week of the workshop is dedicated to establishing students' understanding of electrical engineering, microcontrollers, Wi-Fi and access points, and motor controls. The second week is dedicated to students building the actual Web-Controlled RC Lab Car and competing against each other in a race.

Kids take home their projects
Students learn how to bring their own concepts to life, building the confidence to create, experiment, and problem-solve on their own. When the workshop is done, they take home the web-controlled RC lab car and the other projects they built from scratch.
