UAE school teams placed first in the best performing new team, car workmanship, technical innovation, innovation in 3D printing, best car graphics, best video, best photo, and the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) award.

The UAE EVGP 2024 was co-organised by Global EEE and 3elm Education and Training in partnership with the US Mission in the UAE, NYU Abu Dhabi, ProjoTech, Al Forsan International Sports Resort, and PepsiCo.

The panel of judges comprised leading experts from the private sector, academia, and government, including representatives from the US Department of Transportation and the Washington DC Department of Energy and Environment.

NYU Abu Dhabi Vice Chancellor Mariët Westermann said, “We congratulate the Electric Vehicle Grand Prix winners and commend all the participating teams.
