Teams of talented students from various schools across the country showcased their skills, creativity and perseverance as they pushed their electric cars to the limits.

 

With a combination of innovative thinking, science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the students demonstrated their techniques, making the Greenpower racing event a unique platform for them to unleash their potential.
