TeacherGeek MAKER/STEM CART X2 User manual

X2 Version

This cart is going to supply your students/kids with incredible experiences, unlike anything else they
have ever done. We’ve tried to make “getting started” as easy as possible. Follow these few easy
steps below, and you’ll be making projects in no-time.
We spent a great deal of time and effort putting your cart together for you.
Remove boxes from pallet and find Box 1 with tools. Unbolt cart from underneath with pliers.
Remove wheel casters from Box 1 and screw onto cart legs.
Quick Tip
Leave the bins wrapped from
shipping and hang the cart
off the edge of the pallet to
screw in casters.

Remove the bag of pegs and a stubby screwdriver from Box 1 and attach as shown below.
Please note: screws attach above the hooks.
Bin Side (left side when facing the cart)

With the U-bolts, hole plates, and nuts from
Box 1, insert U-bolts thru drilled holes of the
“Maker Space” sign and then thru the hole
plate, loosely tighten nuts.
The “Maker Space” sign is dry-erase,
color and recolor as many times as you
like with dry-erase markers or crayons.
Slip the U-bolts over the cart poles. Stack
two of the empty top bins and use as
spacers to mount evenly.
Hand tighten all nuts, then go back with
pliers to fully secure in position. Tighten so
that it is snug, but do not overtighten.
Fill up your bins with TeacherGeek
components and you are ready to go!
(You will have more components than will fit in
some bins. Save extras to refill your cart later.)
We’ve also included two extra bins to
go next to your cart for storing recycling
materials and cut/reamed parts.

Tool Side
(right side when facing the cart)
Fill pegs with tools for easy student/kid access as
shown above.
Bin Side
(left side when facing the cart)
Fill pegs with components as shown: vinyl tubing,
wire rolls, string, and tape. Hang bins (two in a row)
with the first three rows being the smaller bins
and the last three rows being the longer bins.
Fill as labeled.
