| 2020 Car |
| Model-making category
Make the car of 2020. What will it look like? In this category students were invited to build a model car of their own design showing how they thought the car of 2020 might look. It could be shaped from balsa wood, or from modelling clay, or cast - any practical and safe 3D modelling medium could be used. Items such as wheels, axles, lights, glass etc, could be sourced from hobby-shop suppliers. The model could be no larger than 60cm in length and had to be capable of sitting on its own wheels or mounted on a display board or display feature. It had to be accompanied by a brief explanatory description of its design features and operation. Two levels of entry: Secondary: years 10-12 YEARS 9-12 in 2006 Tertiary: TAFE or University There was also an Essay category Describe the cars, and the world of personal transport, of 2020. Write an essay describing the world of personal transport of 2020. Students were invited to think creatively and logically about the changes they expect to see in future car design and technologies. |
| Drawing and design category
Design the car of 2020 In this category students were invited to design the car of 2020. The design could be hand-drawn, rendered using computer graphic programs, or designed on CAD. It may interest students to know that, even today, nearly all car and vehicle designs begin with hand-drawn sketches In this category, students were encouraged to explore their design ideas for the future of automotive design and technologies: to think creatively and expansively beyond the boundaries and limitations of today's cars. Students had to submit a brief (no more than one A4 page) explanatory description of their design: what are its key features and design advantages? How might the vehicle be powered? What materials might be used in its construction? The graphic designs could be no larger than A2 in size, and mounted on card. Two levels of entry: Secondary: years 10-12 YEARS 9-12 in 2006 Tertiary: TAFE or University |
