The Electrathon Competitions in Maine

---

Although the Electrathon competition started in England with older men building small electric cars for competitions. It eventually developed an earnest following in the US school system as students became involved in designing, building, innovating and fine tuning their vehicles for the competitions.

These semi-annual events were begun in Maine in 1994. The Maine Energy Education Program has been managing the program since 1996. (Link below)
