Why a group of teenage girls described as 'hardcore car nuts' are converting a Range Rover into an electric vehicle
ABC Central Victoria / By Sarah Lawrence
A group of 25 high school girls from Bendigo is transforming an old Range Rover into an electric vehicle as part of a new program to inspire young women to take up STEM careers.
The year-long project started last month, with students coming from four high schools in the region to work on the car at Bendigo South East College.
Already they have stripped the Range Rover and are separating the body from the chassis. They will then refurbish the interior, install the charger system and rewire the car.
Bendigo Tech School director Graeme Wiggins is running the program to encourage more young women to take up careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths).
The electric car will be rented out to the community.
