AutoTech instructor proposes RC Car Club to expand hands-on electronics and EV learning
Summary
Preston High AutoTech instructor proposed a new RC Car Club to provide applied electronics and vehicle system learning, with a modest club fee and parent permission; the proposal was entered on the agenda for board consideration and will return for action or scheduling.
An AutoTech instructor proposed creating an RC Car Club at Preston High School to extend hands-on learning in electronics and electric-vehicle principles using recreational RC vehicles.
The proposal outlines objectives (electronics and EV learning), suggested logistics (meetings in the AutoTech shop, test courses, possible public showcases), a suggested club fee ($20–$25) and parent-signed permission forms. The club sponsor recommended using a mix of AutoTech funds and student-owned equipment; safety and parental consent processes were described and records would be maintained by the AutoTech instructor.
Why it matters: The proposal would create an extracurricular pathway for students to practice electronics and small-scale EV work while connecting vocational instruction to a club setting. The board listed the RC Car Club as agenda item 8.B for consideration; the minutes show the proposal text and risk-management checklist entered for review.
