High School Go Karting Series 

The High School Go Karting Series, held each year in May, puts academic and racing skills to the test for high school students. The event is very similar to the International Collegiate evGrandPrix — the biggest difference is that this high school race uses gel cell lead acid batteries.  Visit www.evgrandprix.org for more information

This race helps build excitement for STEM education in a racing setting. That's why Purdue is developing classroom curricula, clinics, summer camps and workshops. We'll have updates here on the website or you can email Danny White at white66@purdue.edu.
