The Arnprior [Ontario] District High School Electric Vehicle project is an integrated broadbased technology project challenge. The project challenge draws from knowledge and skills of several disciplines within the school. The project also links students with local technology based businesses as they work through the design and manufacture process of the electric vehicle.

Cyclingpromotion.com has posted a positive review of the potential impact of loosening ebike restrictions for Australia. Much of this report also applies to the U.S.

B*E*S*T is a group of volunteer engineers and teachers who are promoting science, math, and life skills for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students (who think they're just having fun building things!). Our primary activity is supporting teams of students who build their own electric car. Small groups in each class start out by building small electric cars, about 10 inches long, using toy motors and AA batteries. This gives students some experience of what things to consider in building a car, and some practical knowledge of how electric cars work. Finally the whole class works as a team to build a go-cart sized electric car, big enough to ride. B*E*S*T provides a few key parts (motors and batteries) but the students scrounge for the rest. This leads to some very creative designs and lots of learning by doing. The cars are both designed and built by the students.

Austrailian TV program currently filming in the USA. Shaun Murphy, the Eco-Trekker, is travelling in his green-powered Mad-Max-like eco mobiles using no fossil fuels… Only wind, solar, bio fuels, geothermal power and any other renewable energy the American people can help him with.

(Madison, Wisconsin, USA) Easy Breathers ain't no cheesy public service message. Real students worked in front of and behind the camera to show you some cool vehicle technologies and seriously disgusting air pollution problems.

To develop an educational electric vehicle program which will: Improve performance on Quality Core Curriculum science, automotive, and technology standards; Create an awareness of related carriers; Increase knowledge of environmental and transportation issues. Education is the focus, motivated learning is the result.

Site reviews several key advantages offered by electric vehicles.

Since 1993, thousands of high school students have been learning how to build a better future. The EV Challenge is a cutting edge educational program that involves students in a real world project – the construction of a full-size electric vehicle!

Creates and promotes technology education curriculums through the use of a package of projects to build electrical vehicles with the purpose of teaching.
