Renishaw sponsors Greenpower electric car race
Summary
Renishaw has announced that it has renewed its longstanding sponsorship of Greenpower, an international charity that challenges young people aged nine to 25 to design, build and race electric cars. The structure of the event, saw teams of students building their race cars throughout term time, helped by teachers who nurtured their engineering interests. Several of Renishaw’s own apprentices and graduates took part in Greenpower races when they were younger and see the event as one of the reasons they chose a career in engineering. “The event commonly sees an equal split between the number of girls and boys attending, especially in the younger age categories, which is positive for encouraging more women into engineering careers. As part of its extensive education outreach activities, Renishaw will continue to support Greenpower in its goal to encourage the next generation of talent to find their passion for engineering.
