In year 10 at Portchester community school we offer the exciting opportunity to take part in the STEAM Greenpower event. In this challenge we gather together a group of students that build and design the yearly entry to the Greenpower competition held at Goodwood racing track. We embark upon the main electrical and mechanical engineering tasks initially to personalise the car to fit the design brief created by the current team. We then begin time trials and working on the efficiency of the car (weather permitting) here at school.
2022 was our first event but it was hugely successful with a great day had by all and some great time trials recorded. If you would like to see further event information this can be accessed by the link below.
The Green Power project certainly gives students who are involved to have a real life opportunity to discover how Science skills such as enquiry, problem solving, forces and electricity can be applied to this project.
Really importantly they will all be able to see their success when the car will be taken to Goodwood Motor circuit and competed against other education establishment for efficient design and construction.
