PUPILS at a Southampton school have been showing off their designs for the Great Egg Race 2003.
Run by Southampton Institute, the egg race, which was open to schools across Hampshire, invites pupils to come up with a design to harness tidal and wave power and generate enough energy to move an egg.
Woodlands Community School, in Minstead Avenue, Harefield, Southampton, is one of the schools which has entered. Pupils showed off their design to Gordon Cooper, the industrial placement co-ordinator for Southampton Institute.
This is the first year the competition has been run and the winning entry from all the submitted designs will be chosen from two finalists in July.
The winning school will be invited to test out its design at Southampton Institute's 60ft long towing tank - a water tank used to study waves and the way objects move through water. The winning pupils will also receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Alton Towers.
