Children from across the school attended an event at Cranfield University where they presented their ideas and designs for the car of the future.
They spent the day finding out about what the university has to offer; how aeroplanes are designed, about the development of a toilet for countries that do not have running water, transport through the ages and they even got to try out a driving simulator.
We were lucky enough to meet HRH The Duke of Kent who was intrigued by the children’s designs and asked them lots of questions about the luxuries they had included such as reclining chairs and personal servants.
We had a fantastic day. Thank you to Cranfield University for hosting, and inviting us. – Mrs Dearn
