After considering feedback on the 2023 TRYathlon format and reviewing our overall event schedule, the Energy Breakthrough Education Team have liaised with schools to develop a NEW TRYathlon schedule for the Energy Breakthrough for 2024.
The Energy Breakthrough team have finalised the schedules for Display & Presentation, Design & Construction and Scrutineering for over 100 schools that will be travelling to Maryborough to participate in the Energy Breakthrough (EB). View your school’s schedule now at: https://schedule.eb.org.au/
Our 2023 Energy Breakthrough Event Manual provides all the key details and links to the information school's need for this year’s Energy Breakthrough event in Maryborough.
Welcome to Term 4! It’s ‘Energy Breakthrough Term’ … and that means very likely going to be very busy for you and us as we approach the event on 16 – 20 November. We – no doubt like you – are feeling both excited and daunted about the task ahead of us! Here are some updates for our Team Managers as we start to get into the 'nitty-gritty' of preparing for this year's event!
The 2022 School Handbooks have now been released to help students, teachers and their school communities participate in this year's Energy Breakthrough program. There is one Handbook for each category, from Junkyard Challenge (Innovations In Technology), Pushcarts, TRYathlon, Human Powered Vehicles and Energy Efficient Vehicles.
Leading a team through the Energy Breakthrough can be richly rewarding and demanding – so it can be wonderful to have support from outside of your school to help give advice and extra input. Our Energy Breakthrough Mentor Program promises to offer up to 20 interested schools that support. Team Managers should complete an Expression of Interest form today!

Program partner, the Country Education Partnership, is inviting you to a Webinar on Thursday 9 May 2019 to talk 'EB in the Classroom' to explore how different schools are integrating the Energy Breakthrough into their classrooms.
Calling all teachers: do you have curriculum resources that you use to support student's learning through the Energy Breakthrough? Yes! Great! We'd love to hear about what you use and how you use it with the hope that we can share these curriculum resources and ideas across all of the 155 schools that participate in the EB program each year. It's all part of our "Curriculum Resource Round-Up" being led by program partner, the Country Education Partnership, which will feature a Webinar on Thursday 9 May 2019.
New year, new rules! After publishing a set of draft rule changes under consideration last year, our Lead Scrutineers Michael McTigue and Tim White have gathered feedback, deliberated, discussed and now finalised the 2019 Energy Breakthrough Vehicle Specifications and Trial Regulations for HPV, EEV and TRYathlon teams.
