Abstract
The Purdue Polytechnic-South Bend has been offering an electric karting camp since 2013. The camp, open to high school students, is designed to give these students a sampling of the technologies and theories involved in electric vehicles. The original targeted audience was juniors and seniors in high school, with the idea being to influence them to pursue STEM as a major in college. For a variety of reasons the camp has more and more been attended by freshmen and sophomores instead. This has required a change in content and philosophy of the sessions of the camp. This paper describes this evolution as the participants have become younger.
