The world of vehicle design is constantly changing. Innovative ways to power vehicles more energy efficiently are constantly being designed. We'd like you to design and engineer your very own vehicle out of anything you can find at home. This can be a miniature model or even one big enough to transport yourself!

Draw some plans and document your build with photographs. If you're on Instagram, post some pics/videos of your project and tag @southportcollengineering

We're looking for the vehicle which can travel the furthest, whether it's powered by rubber band, balloon, battery or even human powered. Once your vehicle is built and moving, record the distance it can travel. Now can you engineer it further to make it travel a greater distance?

YouTuber 'Grandad is an old man' has a fantastic channel for self built vehicles. Check out some of his videos for some inspiration!

We have an absolutely fantastic engineering workshop, packed with the latest industry standard equipment, including milling machines, lathes, wind tunnel, plasma cutter and much much more. We love for our students to get hands on and learn how to operate these machines which they'll use in their careers as engineers of the future.
