Green Power Formula Goblin

 

This year, an intrepid group of pioneers in Year 6 launched our first Greenpower Formula Goblin racing team!

Based around Formula 1, the Greenpower Formula Goblin competition encourages students around the world to become involved in STEM by challenging them to design, build and race a green-powered, electric car. Our girls are the first team in mainland Australia to join the Greenpower racing community.

The team will head to the UK in June for three competitions and have been working hard to finalise their build. Recently, the girls reached an exciting milestone, driving their race car for the first time to test the car; recording and analysing performance data, fitting the drivers, learning safety start and stop procedures and brake testing. A problem with a slipping axle didn’t stop our girls as the pit crew took the car apart and problem-solved so the drivers could resume testing performance.

The marketing division of the team are working just as hard as they look for, and pitch to, potential sponsors. A big thank you to our first sponsors AptaGrow and Earthy Souls!
