Innovation came to our school gates on 2 October, when a Solar Hybrid Bus System visited Maplewood and students from Kindergarten to the high school went on board to see how it works.

Topic
Solar energy, AI and smart engineering
Who took part
Students across the school

Cleaner transport, explained up close

Students heard how the bus combines solar energy, AI and smart engineering to make transport cleaner and more sustainable. They looked inside the cabin, at the systems under its panels and asked the team their own questions.

It is the kind of learning we want for every Maplewooder: real technology, explained by the people who build it, that shows how science can solve real-world problems.
