Education Trust In the last 26 years industry, technology and society have changed dramatically, but one theme has remained resolutely constant; we still struggle to attract young people into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers Back in 1999, STEM Sussex set out to create a hands-on, ambitious and unique activity for young people to inspire them into the pursuit of engineering careers. And so, the Greenpower challenge was developed; to design, build and race a single seater electric car, based on the excitement of motorsport, innovative technology and the sporting values of common rules and fair competition. The very first race was held on 17 October 1999 at Goodwood Motor Circuit. Since then, Greenpower has grown and matured, extending the age range of participants to primary schools and post 18, expanding across the UK and internationally, and developing the challenge to stay abreast of technology. In that time, many thousands of young people have participated in the Greenpower challenge, racing around some of the UK’s most iconic tracks, Goodwood, Silverstone, Dunsfold and Castle Combe. We want to reach more young people and enable them to engage in the exciting opportunities that Greenpower affords. The Greenpower program removes barriers to learning, and helps young people to develop new skills that will help them in their futures.
