The Leopards team wins UAE’s inaugural Greenpower electric kit car race

Opportunity for Students to dive into STEM

The Greenpower competition, which has been running in other parts of the world for some 20 years, uses the thrill of motor sport to help young people, from primary school age through to university, excel in science, technology, engineering, and maths. Participating schools form teams, each made up of three drivers and support crew, to design and build electric kit cars, which they then go on to race on the track.
 
“The Green Power competition offers an excellent opportunity for students to dive into STEM,” explained Padraig Gaughan, one of the DAA teachers who supported The Leopards. “Seeing them collaborate, each contributing their strengths, was incredible. Every student made a meaningful impact on our success, learning invaluable teamwork and problem-solving skills along the way.”
