Bumping
Don't allow the students to bump the cars into each other. This could break them.
Timing
Having fun is great, but be careful with the timing. 10-20 minutes for a fun activity is great before continuing with the course. Spending more time will distract you too much from the goal of the course.
Different student ages
Generally, if the students are at a different age they would have fun in different ways and for different durations. Observe the group.
Science
Try to get the maximum of this fun activity by doing some "scientific experiments". We've provided a number of tasks for the students, but you can add additional to your class based on the age of the students and their interests. You can talk about cars, about car competitions, about physics with the different measurements you take from the experiments. The goal is to do experiments.
Batteries
Be very careful with the batteries. It is very easy to drain all the power from the batteries now and you won't be able to continue the class.

Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI
Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.
The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.
In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.
