It is a compelling challenge for a number of reasons. One it links education with industry through real-world design-build projects. Two it spans all levels of academia from primary grades to university. Third it is focused on green technology through electric vehicles to develop future engineers with a sustainability focus.
At Solid Edge University, I talked with Mike Brown to get a little more detail on how Solid Edge is a part of the project. Mike points out that the young folks involved with these programs are engineers:

<\/P>\u201cThese kids actually push the technology. They\u2019re trying to squeeze every single increase of speed.\u201d<\/BLOCKQUOTE>
Mike also points out:\u201cYou\u2019re not speaking to a student. You\u2019re actually speaking to an engineer. Smaller and younger but an engineer.\u201d<\/BLOCKQUOTE>
For more, check out images from the most recent Greenpower challenge at Silverstone<\/A> and watch this overview video<\/A>
You can learn more about our STEM initiatives<\/A>. Stay tuned \u2013 I have a few more interviews to share soon on a USA entry into Greenpower.
