Two online activities to get engage learners' interest in energy sources and the different resources required to build a working car.

Engineering challenges

These interdisciplinary challenges can be presented in a number of ways and tailored in terms of content, how involved they are or how they might be delivered to suit circumstances such as timetabling, amount of time available, delivery models of different establishments.

Learning journeys

These learning journeys are for teaching in the context of electric transport, specifically the eRally car project. Starting from the experiences and outcomes they give learners the experience of enquiry-based learning and allow them to develop their knowledge, and skills in relation to a topical engineering application.
