Renewable Energy Vehicle Race

Build your own go-cart and race it against others to showcase the energy efficiency of non-polluting, environmentally friendly vehicles! Participants (working with their class or club) must design and build their own cars, powered only by renewable energy (such as hydrogen or solar).

Participants must design and build their own go-kart that does not run on fossil fuels. All the vehicles must be environmentally friendly, using e.g. solar or hydrogen power. Technical support from Wadi Environmental Science Centre (WESC) is available, so just ask! In addition to designing and building the go-kart, participants are required to give a presentation on the project.

Private and public schools, universities or other academic sectors are welcome to participate in this race. Last year’s designers of the cars were students of grade 11 and 12 from national and international, and public and private schools. Last years winner was Sekem School.
