Charlestown Rotary Club’s commitment to a sustainable community and youth development is evidenced in its involvement with the Electric Vehicle Festival.
Evolving from a ground breaking electric vehicle challenge event held on the Fernleigh Track in 2007 the festival is a showcasing of the electric vehicle technology for which the Newcastle and Hunter region is renowned, an industry conference and a vehicle development contest targeted at both industry, tertiary and high school education organisations.
The Tom Farrell Institute at the Newcastle University is the lead organisation in the festival and Charlestown Rotary a foundation sponsor. The EV competition focuses on innovation and application of electric technology to vehicle building.
High schools and others in the region construct vehicles within a set of design rules and then race them on a secure track facility at Cameron Park.
From this initiative may come the electric breakthrough technology to take Newcastle to another industry leading high and from the youth involvement may come the next generation of scientists and technologists to lead sustainable industry developments.
They are the reasons Rotary is proudly behind this project , oh and it’s a lot of fun along the way.
