Innovation event promises to be electric

Posted: 5th October 2021 - 12:38pm

Students will see innovation in action at a special electrical showcase starring a Tesla car and a host of cutting-edge sustainable technologies at Loughborough College.

The state-of-the-art electric car will be parked on campus as part of the event, between 9am-3pm on Wednesday, 6th October, which is designed to inspire students to think about how sustainable technology can be used in future.

The Tesla electric vehicle is being provided by industry-leading Intelligent Charging Systems, who will also demonstrate their all-in-one smart electric vehicle charging solutions.

They will be joined by a range of exciting companies and their experts in the College’s Hub who will be able to speak with students about engineering technology and how it can be harnessed and developed.

Shane Payne, Curriculum Manager for engineering at Loughborough College, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to offer such a prestigious line-up of companies and exciting showcase of technology for our students. It is a fantastic opportunity for people to get first-hand insight into the technology of the future and the energy that powers our lives from such a range of industry-leading experts.”

Sustainability and combating climate change will also be high on the agenda as Electrical Waste, a company at the cutting edge of environmentally friendly recycling processes, will be talking about green initiatives.

Lighting experts Tamlite, who designed the state-of-the-art lighting system for the new T-Level demonstration room in the College’s Technology Centre, will be displaying an enhanced range of energy saving products.

Klein Tools, who have proved to be a big hit with learners at previous Electrical events, return to give students and staff the chance to handle more top tools of the trade.

Everyone across the College is encouraged to come along and check out the event that has proved to be popular in the past and is charged up to be even bigger and better than before.
