Overview

I2E Speed Challenge is a fantastic 2-hour activity where pupils get to experience the exciting world of CO2 powered model racing cars. This whole class workshop gets pupils working in teams to build cars. They then race them on our purpose-built track to see which team has produced the fastest F1 car.

Through this engaging session, pupils will explore what is involved in designing and manufacturing the quickest car possible.

Teams will also be challenged with brand identity. So, get your creative caps on as we love a great team name and logo to help you stand out!

This workshop is suitable for progression steps 3 & 4 and lasts for approximately 2 hours for a class of 30 pupils. We can also cater for multiple classes and year groups.
