Kids design the future of transport

As part of the challenge, teams were asked to incorporate a ‘fleet of the future’ as well as a ‘transport hub’ that would transform their local community.

Students worked on their projects in the classroom and participated in virtual masterclass sessions across seven weeks. Each virtual session was designed to inspire, upskill, and educate.

The 24 teams then presented their ideas in 5-minute video pitches that were judged by an RAC panel. The Drivers of the Future team from Harrisdale Primary School won the challenge with their Harrisdale Hub design that featured autonomous pods and trains that utilised magnetic levitation technology.

The Futures Challenge is just one of the ways we’re engaging with young people to inspire the next generation.
