Green Power Challenge
Fifth year pupils at Blairgowrie High School are taking part in a green power challenge to design and build a kit car to compete in endurance races on some of Scotland's top circuits. In Dragons Den style, the pupils put together an impressive presentation and made a pitch to mechanics from local design and build company Algo, which resulted in the offer of advice and parts to help build the car. Pauline Alexander of Algo said, "I was delighted when the pupils asked Algo if we could consider supporting their project and I am very impressed by the way they have approached their challenge".Greenpower Challenge is dedicated to promoting engineering and technology as careers to students aged nine to twenty five who are in full or part-time education.
