The Energy Breakthrough is an exciting program designed to provide opportunities for students, teachers, parents and local industry to work together to design and construct a human powered vehicle, hybrid, a pushcart or innovation in technology that will represent an 'energy breakthrough'.
School groups work throughout the year to design, build and test vehicles or machines within detailed specifications. It requires a team effort and an across-the-curriculum approach. These groups then bring their vehicles and machines to Maryborough, Victoria, Australia in November, for a huge celebration in which they can demonstrate and trial them in action - over sprints, obstacle, 14 and 24 hr trials.
