What is "EV Challenge"?

The EV Challenge is a fun hands-on STEM program where school teams design, build and race a small battery-electric vehicle. Teams develop real engineering skills, teamwork and problem solving - preparing today's learners to be tomorrow's innovators.
Team Mpumalanga and SolarFlair are relaunching the EV Challenge to help young people discover engineering, innovation and the excitement of electric vehicle competition.
We are inviting schools across Mpumalanga to build, learn and race!
