We’ve compiled a 2024 National HPV Events Calendar
We've compiled a national 2024 HPV and EEV events calendar to help demonstrate the breadth and depth of interest in human powered and energy efficient vehicles across Australia. These include events in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. We at the Energy Breakthrough see these 'other events' as great learning and capacity building opportunities - especially for young people - but for designers, builders, riders, race officials, volunteers and more.

New Curriculum Resources for incorporating EB into your classroom
We've been seeking real-world examples of how schools have been incorporating the Energy Breakthrough into their curriculum and have collated the best examples right here on our new 'Curriculum / EB In Schools' page. These have now been packaged into a new web page that covers EB in schools from Primary School to VCE level. Special thank you to those schools for sharing their resources: Avoca Primary School (Pushcarts and Human Powered Vehicles); Katamatite Primary School (Pushcarts and Robotics); Crusoe College, Bendigo & Weeroona College, Bendigo (Human Powered Vehicles / Energy Breakthrough as a STEM / Technology elective) and Bendigo Senior Secondary College (VCE Product Design & Technology Units 1-4). We hope that through this new resource it will spark some ideas about how YOU can incorporate Energy Breakthrough into your school!

Phew! The 2023 Energy Breakthrough has wrapped up for 2023! We are first and foremost an education event. Students are learning by doing first-hands across many curriculum areas.
