The Switch Labs EV program is steadily being signed up by schools nationwide. Young adults are learning first-hand about this emerging new technology through our approved curriculum.

But what is the value of a Switch Labs certificate of Completion to these students? What can their certificate help them achieve in the end? Here are the three most significant benefits that our education can provide your students:

Understanding of EV tech – As an emerging tech field, it doesn’t hurt to enter a University, college, trade school, or apprenticeship to have some experience in the EV field already. Depending on which way your students want to go, they will gain an understanding of EV science that puts them ahead of most candidates they will be up against in placement competitions. 

Development of STEM educational ideas – Our assembly course does considerably better than building an electric vehicle. It ticks all the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics boxes. What’s more, making a Switch Vehicle is a great way to see these individual disciplines working together in adult life.

Maturity of project dynamics – The students working on a Switch Labs project get a first-hand look at a cool, exciting project and the group dynamics involved. As some students step forward and some step back, it is helpful for future college students to see the social structure of a team at work and to be able to identify how communication breakdowns can damage or delay a group project. Even when everyone moves together in the same direction, errors can happen. The Switch Labs project helps young adults identify these obstacles and work to overcome them as a group!

The rewards that come from an education in EV are entirely dependent on what each student wants for themselves. Our reusable EV Kit is ideal for students interested in renewable energy, advanced technology, or automobile design. The Switch Lab teaches students how to work with their hands, solve problems, learn about systems, and gain experience in cutting-edge automotive technology.
