Virtual Ventures and the Faculty of Engineering and Design at Carleton University invite classes to join us to complete an engineering challenge!
Power Up is an electrifying event designed to teach about the future of transportation. Students will embark on a journey delving into the world of electric vehicles, from their revolutionary technology to their environmental impact. Through a hands-on workshop, participants will not only have the chance to construct their own mini electric vehicles but also learn the fundamentals of coding to bring their creations to life, paving the way for a sustainable and innovative future.
