If you happen to know an Estonian, then you might have heard what unites Estonia and Australia is usually spending a gap year dodging massive spiders in the outback. But what is the reasoning behind Estonians building a solar car and then driving it through the Australian desert?
Well, to us the reason is quite simple. We don’t have enough engineers participating in STEM curriculums and those who do, don’t have enough practical outputs. Therefore we gave them a solar car project, which also helps to solve another problem which is the dire situation in Estonia regarding clean transportation. That is still not all! If we combine the two, then as a result we get a unique project in our region that will add another success story to Estonia’s tech red carpet, right next to the recent unicorns.
Now, if you’re reading this and you also feel the urgent need to take action in order to ensure a greener future and stronger engineering curriculums, then show us your support!
