Test ride an electric bike (or eBike as they are more commonly referred) for free at this years RACV Energy Breakthrough Energy Expo along with 18 other expo exhibitors, including food and beverage, activities and some REALLY good coffee. A great idea to keep the whole family entertained whilst you're busy on track!
The RACV Energy Breakthrough is delighted to announce its newest partnership, a fantastic alliance with La Trobe University as the event’s Official Higher Education Partner.
The 2014 Info Kits are now available online for download! The info kit is the everything guide to almost everything! This includes schedules, team names, maps and all kinds of fancy stuff! It's essential that all teams, parents, students and staff have a copy of the info kit to help us make the event run smooth.
The RACV Energy Breakthrough has been named for the second year in a row, the Best Festival or Event at this year’s Victorian Tourism Awards held in Melbourne on Monday night.
Last month the determined Reef Rode RAFE (Ride Against Greenhouse Emissions) team arrived home from their successful 4,000km journey from Ballarat to Port Douglas. Along the way they raised funds and awareness of the need to protect Australia's Great Barrier Reef and broke the lap record at the RACQ Technology Challenge in Maryborough, Queensland.
Catch-up on the latest progress from the Energy Efficient Vehicles crew at Cobden Technical School with this update from Team Manager, Chris Brooks, and his students. This year Cobden Technical School are sharing their journey in preparation for the 2014 RACV Energy Breakthrough. Through these progress reports at the end of each term, you’ll be able to find out what the students and teachers have been up to, what’s gone well, what’s not gone so well and what they’re looking forward to in the term ahead. We’ve put this together to showcase some of the schools involved, and to promote how they successfully operate and manage their Energy Breakthrough teams.
To continue our series of 2014 Progress Reports, Team Manager Scott Zachariassen and the students at Jells Park Primary School check in on what has been a busy throughout Term 3 and a VERY busy Term 4.
We're calling on you to join our team of over 700 volunteers to help make the RACV Energy Breakthrough one of Australia's and award winning premier education, science and technology events. We need people with muscles who can help us set up, people who can plan or administrate, people who can marshal, people who have ‘people skills’ and people who love to entertain.
This week, the United Nations has been meeting in New York for its Climate Summit, enlisting the world to work together on a problem that’s too big for any one country to solve. We think this talk by Nicholas Stern is recommended watching for secondary students of the RACV Energy Breakthrough on the current state of the climate and what we might do about it. (It might help to prepare them for the Display & Presentation component too).
It was another massive weekend in Murray Bridge, South Australia for the 2014 Australian International Pedal Prix. There were plenty of thrills, spills and great racing amongst the 200-plus vehicles on track. Thanks to our super photo team of Nathan Boon and Katie Harris. We hope that through the 180 images in this photo gallery, you will gain some new ideas for your vehicles, capture some of the colour from the event and maybe spot a few current or past students from your school too.
