Hello everyone, and congratulations to all the winning teams who took part in the 2022 Shell Eco-marathon Quiz. It was amazing how the teams used the concepts from out virtual learning sessions and extended them with their own ideas at the Off-Track award.
I’m impressed with the team’s knowledge of Shell Eco-marathon technology, which they clearly demonstrated in the quiz. The creativity and the professionalism of all Shell Eco-marathon participants is truly inspiring. And I’m sure you will experience a higher energy efficiency in the millage challenge and the competitive speed performance in the championships. And then, at the physical events, you will rock the track.

Rishabh:
Hey everyone, this is Rishabh from Shell.ai. I want to extent a huge congratulations to all the teams who participated as part of Pitch the Future this season. It was an absolute delight to engage with all your bright minds, who resonated to the Shell.ai challenge on autonomous vehicles. I was truly amazed by the creativity you all brought in, not just in terms of the pitch videos but also in the (?) cases identified. The way those proposals were backed by robust and mature AI models in such short span of time, was commendable.
While I have an eye on the virtual league table, I’m excited and curious with my first-row seat to witness what Shell Eco-marathon students achieve next season. I’ll see you all there.
