Make your own powered wooden car from polywood / MDF
The best way to learn is to learn by doing, so by doing this your child will understand how to use drills, how to solder, saw, file, use sandpaper, and wire up a button-battery-motor combination.
They will also understand gear ratios (fractions) and the principles of friction.
Parents are encouraged to join, free of charge, to hang out, talk to everyone, but please allow your kids the freedom to experiment, make mistakes and play. (work at their pace)
