With the summer quickly approaching and the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing, many parents may be worried about how their kids will spend their free time this summer. General Motors may have a solution for those families, however, with the automaker announcing its new Electrifying Engineering video series this week.
GM describes Electrifying Engineering as “a free educational video series designed to foster ingenuity through hands-on activities while educating kids about electric vehicle technology.” Electrifying Engineering episodes will be released on YouTube every Sunday through to the end of July, giving students an abundance of educational video content to consume while they are at home this summer. Electrifying Engineering videos will be hosted by different members of the GM team and will touch on a wide range of topics, including electric vehicle charging, electric vehicle motors, autonomous vehicle sensors and more.
Additionally, Electrifying Engineering episodes will feature an interactive engineering project that will be easy for viewers to mimic from the comfort of their own homes with common, everyday household items. This will give the online classes a bit more engagement and allow viewers to put what they’ve learned to the test – whether it be with regard to science, mathematics or vehicle design. The automaker is also encouraging viewers to share their completed engineering projects on social media using the hashtag #ElectrifyingEngineering.
“Schools may be winding down the remote-learning programs put into place during the COVID-19 pandemic, but parents, teachers and students everywhere are seeking new ways to keep minds active and inspired outside the classroom during the summer months,” the automaker said in a statement. “General Motors is lending support by releasing Electrifying Engineering.”
Electrifying Engineering is yet another online educational resource launched by General Motors in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Back in March, the automaker launched the ‘Corvette Academy’ video series – a 23-part video series that aims to educate and inform Corvette fans of the model’s past and present.
The Electrifying Engineering video series can be found via GM’s YouTube page.

Well I guess I’m making an electric motor this week. This series is a great idea to help foster and develop the next generation of engineers.
The current engineers at GM did a great job making the Bolt a fun car to drive, I just wish the design team would have done a better job making it fun to look at. I understand the limitations they have with the extreme slope of the mini van style A pillar, but it just looks so bulbous. The plastic insert between the hood line and crown line with the Bolt nameplate seems like a forced design element. It’s great that there is a so much visibility up front, but visibility is more compromised in a hatchback by the C pillars and they didn’t really address that. The tapered floating roof line off the rear door makes the car seem even more front heavy than it already is. It seems like GM will be addressing some of these design elements with the EUV and I’m excited to see it unveiled. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the floating roof, but it seems like that just has to go on every GM with a rear hatch now.
As long as there is an electric GM vehicle available for around 30k I will consider one for my next vehicle. However, this current iteration of the Bolt’s exterior styling really misses the mark for me. The hard touch surfaces in the interior I do not mind because some the bin parts are the same as my Sonic and they have held up well to wear and tear. I know that some of my opinions do not represent the majority, but this is just what I think would help visually improve the vehicle. /rant
And we decided to make up for the lost time because of the pandemic and asked just a huge number of tedious written works. We ourselves are constantly forced to write these constant stories, which are already muttering, to be honest. And I’ll tell you right away, they are extremely difficult to write. It’s also good that I don’t write them myself at least, but immediately contact the appropriate company, which does it to me quickly and much better than I would do it. But it wasn’t easy to find such a company, it’s also good that I addressed to the professionals, the list of whom I found at Writing Judge , there are a lot of options for this. I hope very much that I will be able to help someone else, there are a lot of students who are now looking for such services, and there is just a detailed description of them. I hope that this will be useful for you!
