Lectec
Description
Lectec is a STEM education company that produces assemblable electric skateboard, scooter, and bike kits used for teaching engineering and electronics concepts to students in schools, after-school programmes, summer camps, and home learning environments.
The product range consists of build-it-yourself electric vehicle kits, including skateboards, scooters, and bikes, which students assemble to learn about electrical engineering, mechanical systems, and circuitry. Once constructed, the vehicles are functional and rideable, providing a tangible outcome from the learning process.
The kits are designed to be accessible to learners without prior engineering experience, with assembly instructions and supporting educational materials provided. Lectec is aimed at the educational market, with applications in schools, after-school clubs, summer camps, and home-based learning.
The company gained public exposure through an appearance on the American television programme Shark Tank. Curriculum materials accompany the hardware to support classroom delivery, with the kits intended to introduce students to topics within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on construction activities.
