Greenpower logo

Greenpower Education Trust is a UK based charity with an outstanding track record in kick starting careers in engineering. They help unlock potential and spark enthusiasm for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) through the excitement of motorsport.

What is Greenpower?

Teams of students aged 9 to 25 from across the globe compete at Greenpower events in the UK and other countries including USA, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and China. The annual International Final takes place at venues such as the UK’s Silverstone National Circuit and Goodwood Motor Circuit.

Bradford College is working alongside global STEM education charity Greenpower to Bradford.

We want to inspire young people across the city district to excel in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) through a unique challenge: to design, build and race an electric car.

All teams have the full support of Bradford College Motor Vehicle and Automative teams, in the lead up to an end of year race.

Bradford Business: we need your support too!

We are also interested in talking to employers in local engineering and motor vehicle industries who may be interested in supporting the event, either partnering with a local secondary school on the design and build of the racing car, or through supporting the Grand Prix event itself, sponsorship opportunities will also be available with our media partner The Telegraph & Argus.
