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.

 

The Greenpower racing event not only encouraged students to engage in hands-on STEM activities but also fostered teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking.

“We are delighted to have had so many incredible businesses and organisations support this year’s Greenpower racing event, including The Cornwall College Group,” commented Vanessa Gutowski-Smith, Events Team Lead for Greenpower. “Their encouragement has been instrumental in making this event such a resounding success,” she continued.
