Poster presentation Teams have to prepare an A4 poster which will be used to convey the scientific principles used in the powering of their vehicle
Rules –            This is to be completed in pairs

–            The device must be designed and constructed at school under the guidance of a teacher who will supervise the distribution of the PV panels, wires and motors.

–            A 10 m track should be demarcated on a smooth surface for the race in a sunny area

–            Teams are allowed to practice on this demarcated track

–            Marks will be allocated to

o  the quality of the poster (Rubric assessment)

o  a brief presentation by the team (Rubric Assessment)
