The design and building phase can take up to 15 hours and the cars must be easily dismantled for future use.
The event encourages children to work as a team, learning engineering and green skills and consider studying STEM subjects in the future. It will take place at Ennerdale Leisure Centre’s cycle circuit.
Alex Codd, assistant director for economic development and regeneration at the council, said the challenge was a “fantastic event in Hull”.
“In addition to being great fun, it will help pupils to engage in key subjects and enhance their education and I look forward to seeing the cars racing around the circuit,” he said.
Ms Baldwin added: “We hope all the teams have enjoyed building their cars and we look forward to seeing them all in action very soon.”
The schools taking part in the event are:
-
Althorpe and Keadby Primary Schools
-
Burton Upon Stather Primary School
-
Healing Primary Academy
-
Holme upon Spalding Moor Primary School (two teams)
-
Sacred Heart RC Primary School.
