What is 4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge?

The 4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge is an international competition which takes in-class STEM learning to a whole new level.

Student teams not only design and construct an off-road vehicle with a trailer, they have to incorporate remote controlled steering and use it to negotiate an ‘extreme’ 4×4 obstacle course. While the clock is ticking.

Why is 4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge Unique:

This combination of mechanics and electronics is similar to the challenges faced by professional Automotive Engineers. The program involves developing concepts and detailed CAD design through to manufacturing, assembly and testing. Whilst at the same time collaborating with industry, teamwork, project management, self-promotion and public speaking.

There is no limit to where students can take this challenge. It starts with a ready to go starter kit that the students begin applying sensors and control circuits to. It can progress in the professional category to a fully blown autonomous vehicle.

The 4×4 in Schools Technology Challenge is an ideal incentive or education tool for engaging students in STEM and it provides them as well as their teachers with a new opportunity to develop key skills.
