Formula Sun

Formula Sun is an exciting and flexible project that can be delivered in many
ways for  pupils of all ages; from primary school projects to full delivery of
units within KS4 curriculum. 

Pupils design, build and race boats powered by solar energy; along the way they have the opportunity to develop skills ranging from project marketing and communication to fluid dynamics and electronic design!

Formula Sun is tailored to fit engineering curriculum requirements enabling both individual projects and team delivery to take place side by side. This gives considerable scope for a context when pupils carry out work that requires them to engage with employers as part of their course.
