Top Gear is here!
Pupils from The Grange Learning Centre have recently been working with Greenpower Education Trust to design, build and race electric cars.
Greenpower Education Trust is a UK based charity with an outstanding track record in kick-starting careers in engineering through the excitement of motorsport.
Teacher, Lee-Ann Hill shares details of the project:
"During the project, pupils have developed their knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). They have also experienced the opportunity to work together as a team racing their first electric car at a regional event at Croft Circuit against a number of other primary and secondary schools."
He continued:
"Pupils took part in three timed races including, a drag race, slaloms and the lap of champions. The task of ensuring the car was built in time for the race was completed in just a short period of time with a small team and then recognised by the Greenpower judges who awarded pupils with the 'Spirt of Goblin' trophy."
He concluded:
"Staff were super proud of the pupils commitment and hard work during the event, and the aspiring engineers are already getting geared up for taking part next year."
Well done!
