It is important to fight for a sustainable future.
We get the opportunity to do this with Shell Eco-Marathon.
It is important to get young people thinking.
It has one seat. It is very small and light.
Everything is made to be as light as possible
and to use as little fuel as possible.
The steering has been programmed.
When we get on the track, the car will drive itself.
It will be as fuel efficient as possible.
It is my first experience working with an international team.
But I have learned so much because here I can work with many nations.
And I can see what is different -
their behaviour, how people think and work,
what works, what doesn't, approaches to use...
It is a really good experience for myself.
I can take advantage of the other guys' experience.
It is exciting to be the only team from Norway.
It is great to be able to represent Norway.
We will leave here, feeling motivated
to do well in the race.
There is some pressure in being the only team from Norway.
But we also feel very privileged to be the only team.
The students are not used to being responsible for the whole project.
It is not enough to do your part.
If the car doesn't work,
no one is going to ask how good the wheel suspension is.
They have to be responsible for the project as a whole.
When you start your career,
it should be with the highest quality
and with the highest possible challenge.
Then you are ready for more interesting things in the future.
Making a car for the Eco-Marathon competition
was a huge challenge for me.
Here you have the chance to work in a real job.
We design the car's parts.
And then we produce these,
and we can see if we have been right or wrong
or if we have to improve performance.
And I think it is a really good experience.
We all have to do our part for the environment.
This is a great way to learn about the environment�
