Green Technology Project at IST – Funded by KIK

IST students from grades 4–6 explored the challenges of car overuse and climate change while seeking innovative solutions.
During the February school holiday, they had the exciting opportunity to participate in a Science Camp focused on sustainable technology. Throughout the camp, students conducted research, delivered presentations, and deepened their understanding of electric vehicles. The highlight of the project was assembling a real electric car, specially ordered from the UK-based company Greenpower. This hands-on experience was made possible thanks to the support of the Environmental Investment Centre (Keskkonnainvesteeringute Keskus – KIK).
After completing the build, students took the car for test drives—an unforgettable experience that combined teamwork, learning, and fun.
The project aimed to raise environmental awareness while enhancing students’ knowledge and skills. And the journey doesn’t stop here! The car will continue to serve as an inspiring learning tool, encouraging the next generation of engineers and innovators.
