The Victorian Model Solar Vehicle Challenge is pleased to recommend Mark Smith Educational Consulting for schools and parents looking to introduce or expand hands-on solar vehicle programs. Mark Smith is a highly experienced educator, school leader, and consultant who specialises in engaging students (from those who find traditionally methods challenging through to gifted and high-potential learners) via meaningful, design-and-build STEM projects.
Working alongside MSVC, Mark offers a free introductory consultation to assess how your school or community group can best implement the Challenge. He then provides tailored support packages that reduce the load on teaching staff, guide parents and volunteers, and ensure students gain the full learning benefits of building, testing, and racing their own solar vehicles.
His programs combine creativity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving — perfectly aligned with the values and learning outcomes promoted by the Model Solar Vehicle Challenge Victoria.
