Start a team
The Waterloo EV Challenge is a unique opportunity for teams to plan, design, and build their own electric vehicle. The EV Challenge team has sponsorship opportunities and advice for individuals looking to start a team — contact Peter Teertstra, Director of the Sedra Student Design Centre, for more information.
We strongly recommend that schools considering starting a team attend the race.
