The EV Prize event requires teachers from interested schools to attend a 3 hour workshop introducing them to the basics of EV Prize:
The Teacher Workshop was designed to support teachers in the planning and basic construction of an electric vehicle that can enable a school to participate in the event. The teacher workshop is also a much needed opportunity for teacher’s to work alongside University staff.
- Schools Division rules;
- Components and tools required to build an electric bike;
- Demonstration of fitting electric bike motors;
- Practical exercises for skills development (setting up prototype circuits...);
- Some useful calculations to help them design and race a super-efficient electric bike
- Safety and maintenance of electric bikes

Following on from the Teacher Workshop teachers initiate the process in their schools, co-ordinating teams, training students to build bikes and developing strategies based on science and technology to improve the performance of their vehicle.

Testimonial: Shane Davis, Teacher, Belmont Christian College
“The EV Prize is engaging students, exciting them about science AND changing 'culture'. After all you and your team (Nigel, Tim & Gary) have done for our school in getting the students motivated in looking outwards from their own 'small' world view and giving them a glimpse at a much bigger picture - you guys have really honestly changed the culture here at Belmont. I have a group of about 15 to 20 students who come up to the science labs whenever possible to have meetings/think tanks - and a little actual work gets done. Two parents have come to me personally over the last 3 weeks and have asked if I have plans for further 'extra' activities to keep their kids 'excited' about coming to school.”
