Young people recap their knowledge on electricity, energy stores and renewable energy, including a comparison of different renewable energy generation methods. We then discuss the link between renewable energy and electric cars, before young people are then challenged to build their own miniature electric cars in groups. The cars are then charged and tested on the racetrack, with the young people using their problem solving skills to perfect their cars and increase its efficiency to achieve the maximum distance possible. The young people use the cars to understand the relationship between voltage input and distance travelled, and then complete the session by attempting to reach a specified target distance.
Primary: 5 sessions x 1 hr

Young people learn about electricity and renewable energy before completing the electric car challenge.
