Our primary mission to promote Engineering literacy in classrooms.
Destination Zero Carbon (DZC) - Junior Category is a clean energy education program and a global racing federation designed to promote environmental awareness for students through a fun and engaging platform. Built around the excitement of competition, the programme features a "design-build-and-race" of 1:20 scale, future energy tech cars using zero emission technologies, and incorporates relevant content in Science, Mathematics, Earth Science, Information Technology, and Design, modeled after the national secondary school curriculum. It also features introductions to 3D modeling (design your own zero carbon car) using Solidworks software, where student designs can then be rapidly prototyped using laser cutting machines.
With a special focus on the Environment, DZC exposes students to the phenomenon of climate change and its negative impacts on our lives today and the future. It demonstrates to students the possibility of mitigating the situation by utilizing alternative clean energy sources. The program will also introduce them to the intricacies of hydrogen fuel cell technology and its relevance as an alternative and sustainable clean fuel source to fossil fuel. |
