Year 9 pupils work on their Greenpower car

The Design and Technology department was buzzing with co-curricular activities on Wednesday, including Year 9 pupils working on the aerodynamic design of their Greenpower electric car.

More than 10,000 people, aged 9 to 25 take part in the Greenpower project each year, where teams build a Kit Car and race them against each other at global motorsport venues.

“We inspire young people around the world to excel in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths through a unique challenge: to design, build and race an electric car.”

The aim of the project is to use the excitement of motorsport to encourage an early interest in STEM, helping to kickstart careers in engineering.
