'Buildabike'

Abstract

For the last seven years there have been ongoing and independent technical projects carried out within the Design Centre at King Edward VII College. Ongoing because they were largely open ended with no defined finishing point and independent of the laid down C.S.E./G.C.E. curriculum within the design department. Such projects have included schools karting, a large land yacht, a swing for the physically handicapped and in 1976 the B.P. Build a Car competition. Labour for these projects has come from any interested pupils who have been prepared to work at break-times, lunch-times, free periods and during School holidays.
