The parent company of Chevrolet, General Motors, launched the Electrifying Engineering series as support for remote-learning programs in schools all around the world. The free educational video series wants to help parents, teachers, and students who are seeking alternative ways to keep young minds active and inspired at home by providing hands-on activities on Youtube and educating kids about electric vehicle technology.

Started last June, Electrifying Engineering is airing new episodes every Sunday until July 2020. It includes electric car charging, electric car motors, autonomous vehicle sensors, and other activities, all of which are hosted by different members of the GM team. Each episode, viewers will conduct an interactive engineering project using everyday household items. Experiment instructions are also available for download.

Below are the available Electrifying Engineer episodes on GM’s YouTube channel:
