The Future of Transport Challenge Pack has been designed to get students reimagining how their local community will move in the next 50 years as transportation technology continues to evolve.
Throughout the pack, students will be exploring autonomous vehicles, alternative fuel sources, and emerging transport technologies to develop a vision for a safer, more sustainable, and more connected future. Their challenge is to create a series of recommendations for their local government, culminating in a pitch and ad campaign to showcase their vision for the future of transport.
Students can complete this pack digitally, or on a printed copy and will be challenged to work individually or in teams as they complete three activities related to redesigning the future of transport. Each activity will see students provided with a page of information to outline what is being asked of them, along with a second page of information with links to case studies to help shape their thinking.
To assist students with their ideas, they will be provided with three user personas to consider, all with specific needs and frustrations. As students bring their recommendations to life they will be asked to prepare a script and slides for a 3-5 minute pitch outlining their plans.
This is a great activity pack for educators looking to find an engaging way to help students build their innovation skills whilst linking to the interest area of transport and urban development. This activity pack can be adapted to suit your preferred time length and delivery style. It is recommended that students are given at least 6-8 hours of working time to bring their ideas to life.
