Do we have the next Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark or David Coulthard in our midst?
The Colgrain P7s certainly hope so as they are set to embark on an incredibly exciting project - building and racing their very own car!
We have been lucky enough to secure funding, through the Royal Navy STEM Outreach team , for a Goblin Kit car which is a STEM project run by Greenpower Education Trust. The project aims to inspire children ages 9 – 11 years old to take an interest in engineering by building their very own functioning and drivable electric car. The kit car comes flat packed with step by step instructions guiding the team through the build in an easy to understand manner. The build introduces children to basic mechanics and on completion they can use it at one or many local events. Even more exciting is the fact that once the car is built we will be competing against other school teams on a real racetrack near Ayr.
