Harnessing Energy
Duration: 1 hour
Primary 6-7
Convert solar energy into kinetic energy in this fun engineering challenge. Using renewable energy Lego kits, teams of 3 will compete to design a solar powered vehicle within a given time. This is an excellent opportunity for pupils to participate in "engineering with a purpose". The session will conclude with testing and discussion of the designs.
