ABSTRACT

Education in the ecologic spirit is now a very important aspect. Young people should be educated in an ecological spirit from an early age. Shape beliefs in them to change the world for the better. The activities of our project group come with the help. Classes at the Silesian University of Technology aim to instill an ecological spirit among children and young people. They are also interested in their technical sciences, technology and ecological motorsports. Classes are conducted from a wide range of techniques. They start with working with learning technical drawing. Subsequently, in CAD environments, where teenagers learn to design subassemblies and entire structures along with 2D documentation. Then they create assemblies and carry out motion simulations of devices and vehicle ridding on a virtual race track. Then they create real constructions made of composites. These are structures of ultralight car bodies. Next, the students pass a part of the lecture, with eminent professors from the Silesian University of Technology, where they can get to know the academic environment. There are also classes in the field of vehicle calculation, eco-efficiency as well as innovation and entrepreneurship. Subsequently, on the basis of their projects, young people build real-life exit vehicles, constructing electrical and mechanical parts. Then the vehicles are prepared for electric car racing. Such prepared young people become great candidates for the job market. Interests acquired during work in the project translate into their pupils after school hours. Also, it does not go to waste assimilated ecological knowledge that young people can use in everyday life.
