SchoolMars and EIM consultants have selected the Greenpower project as one of the most innovative experiences in the use of technology in education. More than 750 projects and experiences from 500 educational centres have participated in the Educational Innovation Award 2018.
The project, imported from England by the Kid's Kitcar-Greenpower Iberia association and implemented in Gaztelueta for the first time in Spain, aims for students to develop STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) skills as a team by building an electric and ecological car with which they then compete in different races.
The programme has involved 150 students from 5th year of Primary and 1st year of ESO and next year, in view of the good results, it will be extended to other levels. This innovative project aims to instil in students, in a very attractive way, the commitment to the environment, through the construction of electric and eco-designed cars.
In addition, Gaztelueta will exhibit the Greenpower project in the 22nd International Congress on Project Management and Engineeringorganised by the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de la Universidad de Educación a Distancia (UNED), in collaboration with the Asociación Española de Dirección e Ingeniería de Proyectos (AEIPRO) and to be held in Madrid on 11, 12 and 13 July 2018.
