The shell eco marathon is all about designing a car and driving it using the least amount of energy. Yes, who achieves this set target gets to win $10,000 as the first prize. Try beating this record set by students from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo (California). Not easy as it sounds, covering 1,000 Kilometers while burning only 1.238 liters would test your skills in science, technology, mathematics, business, design and above all teamwork.
Least amount of energy could be fuel, whether its gasoline, diesel or alternative energies such as liquefied petrol, biofuel, hydrogen or solar power. The idea is to stimulate innovation and environmental awareness among the future leaders and engineers of tomorrow while promoting energy efficiency in today’s world.
