The Districts Electric Vehicle Grand Prix (EVGP) gives high school students a hands‑on way to learn STEM concepts by building, testing, and racing a single‑seat electric vehicle. Teachers receive a full curriculum, build guidance, and technical support, while students work with a complete kit of EV components to explore engineering, safety, teamwork, and clean transportation through an engaging, project‑based experience. Global Education, Energy efficiency, and Environmental provides materials such as training slides, videos, photos, and on‑site assistance to help teams understand vehicle systems, troubleshoot issues, and prepare for inspections and race strategy.
Throughout the school year, Global EEE mentors visit schools to offer direct technical help as students assemble, refine, and test their cars, with opportunities for advanced work like custom body shells or non‑kit chassis. The program culminates in the DC Electric Vehicle Grand Prix, a full‑day competition featuring inspections, practice laps, endurance heats, and awards for innovation, design, teamwork, and performance. 
Why it matters: Electric vehicles are transforming transportation and reducing emissions worldwide. By participating in EVGP, students gain practical experience in emerging technologies and become leaders in sustainable mobility.
Get involved: Schools and educators can register teams, access technical resources, and learn more about upcoming race events by visiting Global EEE’s EVGP.
