NATIONAL PARTNERS WELCOME For many this won’t be your first year of competing at Greenpower, but it is safe to say it never gets boring. We have been taking part for eight years and they only get better each time! For those of you who are new, welcome to being an engineer! One of the things happening at this year’s finals are the Pit Lane talks and we look forward to getting the chance to speak with you about our technology and innovations as well as introducing some of our entry level talent so you can ask them anything you might want to know about engineering apprenticeships and graduate schemes. All that is left to say is to wish everybody safe and enjoyable racing, and we look forward to seeing you on the track! Olivia Whitlam Corporate Citizenship Manager Siemens UK

The IET is proud to be a sponsor of Greenpower as its aligns with our mission to inspire the next generation of engineers and technicians. Greenpower continues to develops the valuable skills that is so desperately needed both in the UK and globally to allow us to continue to engineer a better world for us all. Good luck to all of the teams involved in today’s race which will no doubt be a fantastic day. David Lakin Head of Education The Institution of Engineering and Technology 6

Ford Motor Company was delighted to move up to national level support of the Greenpower Education Trust in 2018, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Year of Engineeringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Having hosted numerous race days as a regional sponsor over the past 18 years at our Dunton Technical Centre in Essex with around 50 Ford volunteers at each of these, we continue to see very positive benefits from our relationship with Greenpower through inspiring students to participate and Ford employees to go out into Essex schools and mentor the next generation of engineers through their involvement in the project. Throughout our long history with Greenpower, we have seen how the project engages the youngest generation of students and continues to inspire them as they progress through their academic development, nurturing and sustaining a passion for practical problem solving and shaping the engineering talent of the future. By actively supporting Greenpower, we look to champion a strong future for the automotive industry in the UK with young people that can achieve things that exceed what we think is possible today. If you are a part of a team competing today, you have already demonstrated great engineering ability in your journey to get here. Good luck and we wish you all the very best for this unique event and in your future engineering activities! Roger Ratley Electrified Powertrain Engineering Manager Europe Ford Motor Company

INTRODUCING GREENPOWER About Greenpower

Greenpower Education Trust inspires young people aged 9-25 to excel in science, technology, engineering and Maths, through a unique challenge - To design, build, and race an electric car.

IET Formula Goblin age 9 to 11

The Goblin Kit Car is a great introduction to STEM for primary school children, they get hands on assembling the car and compete in slaloms, sprints, and drag races at events.

IET Formula 24 age 11 to 16

In F24, teams have more freedom to design and build their Kit Cars or scratch builds, and students develop their STEM skills. Regional heats feature two 90 minute races requiring 3 drivers, with an International Final at the end of the season. 8

IET Formula 24+ age 16-25

F24+ is a great project as a gateway to a STEM career, and for furthering employability skills. Races are an hour long, and the category is ran as a championship with each teams 2 best results in heats, and their result in the final counting.

GREENPOWER’S 20th ANNIVERSARY Throughout 2019 Greenpower will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Having started from a single race at Goodwood in 1999, it has grown to a truly international programme with teams in every continent, and numerous licenses operating across the globe. Gathering of Goblins 21st July 2019 The historic Goodwood Motor Circuit is once again our venue of choice for the end of year International Gathering of Goblins. This is an opportunity to give children who have been involved in the design and building of their IET Formula Goblin kit cars a chance to proudly display their achievements in a wonderful setting.

is the timed Sprint around the circuit’s Chicane. The afternoon also gives one lucky child from each team the chance to race an entire lap of the 2.4 mile circuit – “The lap of Champions”. Proceeding the event will be a grand prize giving.

Greenpower International Finals 17th October 2019 The 2019 International Finals will be held exactly 20 years on from when it all started on the 17th October 1999. To add to the excitement it will be held at the home of British motorsport, Silverstone.

This will award prizes for the top three cars in each of the four events plus additional awards, which celebrate the multiple aspects of the project.

Goodwood Heat Goodwood Heat 30th June 2019 A spectacular day of racing at Greenpower’s spiritual home as we The Gathering gives all drivers the chance welcome teams to our largest regional to race the familiar Drag and Slalom heat – Usually a sweltering day for teams courses, but also, unique to Goodwood so be sure to bring the sun cream! 11

To reflect the work that has gone in to designing and building the cars, Greenpower presents additional awards to the teams to reward excellence in design and engineering, sustainability and team ethos. Best Bodywork This is judged by the level of skill and creativity shown by the students in creating the bodywork for their Goblin. Sometimes this may be for excellent engineering concepts (aerodynamics, weight) or can be for artistic flair.

Greenest Bodywork With everything from cars woven out of used carrier bags to a body made entirely from a damaged recycling wheely bin, teams really pull out all the stops in an attempt to win this popular award. Check out the cars in the paddocks and see who you think deserves this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award! Best Presented Team This is for the team that looks, sounds and works like a team! Not necessarily the ones with the snazzy race overalls but the ones that have taken pride in their appearance, are polite and helpful and work well together when changing drivers or moving between events.

Spirit of Greenpower At every event there is either a team that has encountered difficulties, a team who have a team member lacking in confidence that they support or a team who help out others with the loan of tools or equipment. Overall they embody the team spirit and positive attitude that has made teachers rate Greenpower so highly for team work.

Portfolio Award The Portfolio was introduced to let us see how much work the teams have contributed to the project every year. It is important that the children actually get to build the car and this is a great way of having this documented. The Portfolio can also reflect the additional work the children have undertaken to support the car such as fundraising and report writing.

CASE STUDY Matt Buck Town Close School

There are many things to love and admire about Greenpower and the community around it. One is the strong sense of a pathway for the young people involved; how many STEM projects genuinely inspire 9 year olds, 25 year olds and all ages in-between?

The Year 8 team who raced the Town Close Phantom formed a strong team quickly, enjoying racing at rainy Rockingham finals. At the same time we identified a fund backed by Dudgeon Offshore Wind and launched F24 to local high schools, several of whom made good debuts at the new F24 race at Lotus Cars’ Norfolk test track.

Along the way, participation in Greenpower has changed our pupils’ perception of engineering. We’ve had guest speakers and brilliant volunteer support. Year 1 pupils designed one set of Goblin bodywork; Year 8 students led At Town Close School we’ve been keen an inspiring assembly about teamwork to spread the message in a part of the focussing on their different roles at the country where Greenpower had no real Finals. A couple of hundred pupils have presence. Once we realised how brilliantly had hands-on experience, whether our Year 6 pupils enjoyed Formula Goblin constructing the cars, racing them or (entering first in 2014), we joined with both. Greenpower and Educator Solutions in Norfolk to promote the project – as a Are there any students somewhere who result, 35 primary schools in the county have gone from Goblin to F24 to F24+? have now raced at Scottow and beyond. At Ford’s today we are racing Bessie, a Hearing that a local school had bought an faithful Goblin, as well as learning the F24 car second-hand, we took the same F24 track with the Phantom Kit Car. Will leap and stepped up last year. the logistics hang together? Yes, but only because of skilled volunteers like William

Anthony and Ian Rayner, and colleagues such as Andy, Marion and Steve who are willing to give up a Saturday so that our pupils can race. Thanks go to them, and to all the volunteers, teachers, parents and dedicated Greenpower staff who make it all happen. Matt Buck, Town Close School
