Evolocity 2019

The launch for the Canterbury Evolocity Challenge got off to a great start. Students worked in teams to problem solve and fix an electric motor kit to a bicycle.  This year there are record numbers of students across New Zealand who have registered interest to take part.
Mia and Angelina joined with Charlie and Tim from Christs' College to start this adventure.  The evolocity challenge continues outside of school time with specific days set aside for building.  These build days provide access to experts who support students to learn skills in welding, programming their controller using code as well as checking that their vehicle meets the criteria for racing.  This project provides students who have an interest in engineering, science, and design, mechanical and electronic technology to apply their knowledge to achieve a vehicle fit for racing.  The regional competition usually takes place in October and within this challenge are several competitions.  We look forward to following their progress.
