4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge
4x4 In Schools
In-school visit
The 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge is an enhancement and enrichment initiative that gives young people an insight of what it takes to become an engineer. The project hopes to raise awareness, interest, enjoyment and enthusiasm in science, technology, engineering and maths through a practical ‘hands on' experience. Are You Ready For The Challenge? The challenge is aimed at young people aged 11 – 19 years old, and involves 4 to 6 team members working together to design and build a radio controlled 4-wheel-drive vehicle to set specifications, that can successfully negotiate a specially designed test track that emulates that of real life and what a full scale 4x4 vehicle can do.

One Review
King Harold School entered to teams into this years challenge. We were initially quite overwhelmd by the project and what we had to do. However, with support of the people running the challenge we were able to take part in the event. We ran the challenge as a lunch club / after school club for years 7 and 8. The students loved the activity and they have put in hours of work. It has led to more enagagement in maths and better behaviour.
