TRACKNAV

TrackNAVCHALLENGE is aimed at 14 -18 year olds, Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 students and tasks them with designing and building (with a bit of help!) a radio controlled, four-wheel drive model vehicle that emulates the all-terrain capabilities of a Land Rover.

Registration is open now, with Regional Heats at the end of June 2008 and the National Final at the start of July 2008.

As well as the chance to gain national recognition, there's plenty all participants will learn. TrackNAVCHALLENGE provides young people with a practical project that stimulates interest in, and experience of engineering with a real experience of the design process. In addition, it develops effective and efficient use of key skills in communication, numeracy, ICT and other areas. In previous years,  teachers have noticed how their students have become more focussed and skilled as a result of the Challenge.
