Our Poole High School Greenpower team, Dolphin Velocity, recently took on their first ever Greenpower F24 event at Dunsfold Park, competing against more than 50 school teams from across the country.
After a year of hard work building and developing their electric car at our after-school Greenpower Club, the team put their skills to the test and achieved an impressive 19th-place finish in one of the races.
Throughout the event, students experienced the realities of competitive motorsport, from scrutineering and pit-lane driver changes to recording lap times and managing the car during the race. It was a fantastic opportunity to put their engineering, teamwork and problem-solving skills into practice.
A huge thank you to Bob Flint, a retired mechanical engineer whose expertise, time and enthusiasm have been invaluable throughout the project. We would also like to thank our sponsors Parvalux, Alfatronix and Elite Fabrication for their generous support.
A special mention also goes to our Year 10 students Ben, Gethin and Imogen, who have shown fantastic commitment in mentoring and supporting our younger Year 8 and 9 students.
If your child would like to get involved, please speak to Mr W Storey when the club meets on a Monday after school.
