It started with a realization.

Early in the year, a few of us noticed something strange. all the school’s automotive clubs and projects had quietly disappeared. They no longer fit the administration’s vision of becoming a more sustainable, environmentally responsible school. At first, it felt like the end of something like there was no place left for students who loved building, designing, and working with machines.

But then someone found it: a competition happening not far from us, where only electric cars were allowed to race. That changed everything.

Instead of seeing sustainability as a limitation, we started seeing it as a direction. What if we built something that aligned with that vision instead of fighting it?

The idea spread slowly at first. A few conversations after class, a couple of rough sketches and then we began talking to teachers, not with a finished plan, but with an ambition. They listened and they supported us. What began as a small group grew, step by step. Each new person brought something different: design ideas, technical skills, organization, motivation. We weren’t just trying to build a car anymore, we were building a project that made sense in today’s world. Now, we’re fully committed.

Our goal isn’t just to participate in a competition. We want to become the first French-speaking school to lead a truly sustainable technical project, one that proves engineering, innovation, and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

We're not here to play. We're here to race.
