Tameside College’s ‘Greenpower’ electric kit car challenge is marking its fifth year at Tameside Cycle Circuit.
The event, which took place over three days, included pupils from schools from across the borough .
Each team was tasked with building, testing and racing an electric kit car with the help of the college’s automotive department.
During the race day, which takes place at Tameside Cycle Circuit on Thursday 18th June, teams take part in a variety of challenges, including furthest distance travelled, safest driving, teamwork and more.
The Greenpower Challenge forms a part of the college’s strategy to introduce more young people in the local area to science, technology, engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects and give an insight into their potential future careers. With the engineering and technology sectors driving over a fifth of the UK’s economy, STEM learning has become a vital part of pupils’ education.
