Racing green: Year 9 students Jonathan Tan, Marcus Chin and Christie Oh with the prototype of a hybrid go-kart powered by solar and electric energy.
HELP International School successfully debuted their student-built electric go-kart and set the fastest sprint time of 6.94 seconds for a Malaysian student-built go-kart over 50 metres with a 2kw BLDC engine, 48v.
As part of the school’s strategic plan in strengthening its holistic science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) curriculum, this initiative is one of many that provided students the opportunity and exposure to gain hands-on electrical and mechanical engineering skills and experience the results of their work as they test drive the go-karts, and learn that electric vehicles and green technology can create a better world.
