Greenpower

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.

How to take part

We are inviting secondary schools to take part in this fully funded STEM programme:

  • Fully funded race car kit loaned to the school to build for the whole year
  • Expert technical coaching from Bradford College Motor Vehicle team
  • Technical support from Greenpower
