Shell Eco-marathon Programme
For over four decades, Shell Eco-marathon has been the global stage for energy efficiency and innovation, bringing together the world’s best student teams in a battle of brains, bold ideas and breakthrough engineering. At its core lies a single, powerful question: “How can we go further with less?”
The programme provides a platform for high school and university teams to explore every aspect of design and technology, using their Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) skills to build their own ultra-energy-efficient cars, and then take them out on the track in competition.
