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
MOTORCYCLE
A motorcycle, or motorbike, is a two-wheeled vehicle used to transport one or two people. It is very useful in everyday life because it is fast, light and easy to park.
It works with the help of an engine, which can be gasoline or electric. This engine generates force to make the wheels turn and the motorcycle move. The rider uses the controls with his hands and feet to accelerate, brake and change gears. Attention! It is important to wear a helmet to protect your head and ensure greater safety in case of falls or accidents.
BUILD
As a team, build a prototype motorcycle. 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.
CONTINUE
After building the prototype, share your experience with your colleagues.
- How were the wheels attached to the main structure?
- Does the prototype balance without needing to be held?
- How does the assembly move?
Then, save all the materials you used.
