This year POWIIS are once again running a Design competition for FOBISIA Schools linked to the United Nations Sustainability Goals. Teams of Y5-Y13 students are invited to join in the TRACK to SUCCESS competition 2024! They will be tasked with designing a NET ZERO light rail station hub, to connect everyone who lives, works and plays in the local area to a regional mainline station. The team should decide where the hub is most needed – and then design the route that connects the two. The hub will provide a vital transport link AND become a community space, where people can also learn how to protect our planet for the future.
The full event brief is out now. Teachers are invited to register their interest here and check out the event website here.
