December 2nd, 2024|0 Comments

Extreme heat, rain, carnage. The 24 Hour Secondary Trial at the Energy Breakthrough in Maryborough truly delivered a spectacle this year. So sit down, grab and snack, get comfortable, and enjoy the highlights of this year's 2024 Energy Breakthrough. Produced and filmed by the amazing Ty Hall.

ABOUT THE ENERGY BREAKTHROUGH

Since 1991, the Energy Breakthrough has provided opportunities for students, teachers, parents and local industry to work together to design and construct a vehicle, a machine or innovation in technology that will represent an ‘energy breakthrough’.

The 2025 Energy Breakthrough event will be held from Wednesday 19th to Sunday 23rd of November 2025 in Maryborough, Victoria.

Entries will open in March 2025.

Teams of students can participate in Robotics, Junkyard Challenge, Pushcarts, Human Powered Vehicles (HPVs) and Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs).

The program is unique in that all teams must compete across three areas of assessment:

  1. Design and Construction,
  2. Display and Presentation and
  3. Trials.

The Energy Breakthrough is a joint initiative of the Country Education Partnership (CEP) and the Central Goldfields Shire Council (CGSC). Learn more about the Energy Breakthrough >
