Flat Out Rickshaw Rally
Teams construct, design & race a rickshaw
About
In Flat Out Rickshaw Rally teams build their own rickshaw within a tight time frame. Working from supplied plans, each team turns a ‘flat-pack’ kit of materials into the ultimate cardboard racing vehicle. Once constructed they decorate their rickshaw so that it stands out.
The challenge concludes with a race, where the teams pit their rickshaws against each other in a test of speed and control.
Learning Outcomes
Teamwork, resourcefulness and excellent communication skills are required to turn a flat pack of materials into a rickshaw. With a good understanding of the end goal and by forming sub-teams and working in parallel, this complex project can be broken down to keep the whole team working effectively to complete the project.
There is also plenty of creativity required to decorate the rickshaw.
