Our Year 13 Design Tech students have qualified to compete at the EVolocity National's in Christchurch. They need your help to get there!
Auckland
After months of planning, designing, building, testing and racing, our Year 13 Design Technology students have qualified to compete at the EVolocity National's being held in Christchurch on 24 November. Now they need your help!
The EVolocity electric vehicle programme in schools helps young people to develop real-world skills in mechanical and electrical engineering, electronics, programming and communications, and learn how to work with others in a team. Students design, build and compete electric vehicles to be able to navigate a series of challenges at speed, while coping with the demands of a tight street circuit. The Innovation categories encourage teams to build in object detection and mitigation features along with the measurement and display of key performance metrics.
The regional competition was held on 30 September at Kartsport Mt Wellington, Auckland. We had 4 teams competing in a range of events against competitors from all over Auckland. Our teams took out 7 out of 15 events and dominated the 1KW Open events, winning all events available!
We have had fantastic local business support to get us to this stage - but now we need your help to get us to the last finish line (hopefully in first place!)
We need help with the costs of flying six students and one teacher from Auckland to Christchurch and home again.
Friends of Mahu, an awesome support group of Mahurangi College parents, have offered to help us with our accomodation costs up to $800. The College and our students will cover minivan hire, food and other expenses.
We are a public secondary school located in Warkworth, north of Auckland, catering for students Year 7-13.
We will used funds raised to help cover costs of return flights from Auckland to Christchurch for 7 people (6 students, 1 teacher) in order for our students to compete at the EVolocity Nationals.
