Toyota Manufacturing UK and Rapid invite teams from across the UK to take part in this year's Toyota Technology Challenge - an educational, fun and affordable schools' national technology competition, aimed at Key stage 3 & 4 students (aged 11-16).
There are two categories to the challenge: Solar Power and PIC Microcontroller. The challenge is to design and build an environmentally friendly model vehicle for a chance to win up to £1,000 in cash for the school, trophies, certificates and, for the best of the best in each category, a 7 day European trip.
Once registered into the competition, teams receive a free* kit supplied by Rapid, containing all the components necessary to build a vehicle; they then make modifications to earn more marks in the competition by making their vehicle more environmentally friendly, improving their vehicle performance and creating their own team identity.
Watch Out! Registration forms for the 2009-10 Challenge will be available from July 2009
