Greenpower USA
Greenpower is the trading name of a charitable organization, the Greenpower Education Trust, whose objective is to inspire more young people to become engineers by presenting the engineering industry as an interesting and relevant career choice which could help solve problems relating to the personal, social and emotional development of individuals and societies. The main idea is for teams of students between ages of 9 and 25 to build and race their own electric powered race cars on top racing circuts such as Goodwood.
