CONNECT
Means of transportation allow the movement of people and goods from one place to another, facilitating access to essential services such as education, health, and employment. This increases social and economic mobility, connecting regions and promoting social integration.
Efficient transportation improves quality of life by reducing travel time, increasing accessibility to services, and improving road safety. This results in less worry, more free time for personal activities, and greater safety for everyone.

ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
CAR
A means of transport used to transport people or small loads from one place to another. It is very common in cities and on the roads. It works with the help of an engine, which can use gasoline, ethanol, diesel or electricity. This engine makes the wheels turn, allowing the car to move.
It is driven by a person called a driver, who uses the steering wheel, pedals and gears to control the car. It is important to always wear a seatbelt to protect passengers in the event of an accident.
BUILD
As a team, build a prototype of a Motorized Car. Use the parts available in the structural robotics technology kit. Carefully follow each step of the assembly and testing. All members must actively participate in the process and contribute ideas and solutions.
