4 x 4 in Schools Technology Challenge

The Land Rover 4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge is an enhancement and enrichment STEM initiative that gives young people an insight of what it takes to become an engineer.

 

The 4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge is a challenge aimed at key stage 3, 4 and 5 students in school / young people  aged 11 – 19 years old in any out of school initiative like STEM clubs

The challenge involves 4 to 6 team members working together to design and build a radio controlled 4-wheel-drive (4×4) vehicle, to set specifications, that can successfully negotiate a specially designed test track that emulates real life and what a full scale 4×4 vehicle can do. The challenge is an excellent opportunity for young people to work in teams and gain an awareness and understanding of project management using key skills.

Participation in the challenge can be accredited with schemes like CREST and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
