A solar-powered outdoor classroom is about to find a new home. Not a model. Not a concept.

A real learning space powered by the same solar panels that helped the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team operate with zero diesel, zero grid power and zero emissions around the world.

We know that brilliant outdoor learning happens beyond traditional classrooms, we want to create a space where science comes to life, where it feels relevant and real.

We want give schools the tools and resources to turn curiosity into capability. So share your story of how this amazing outdoor learning space can help your school.

The deadline is almost here. If you've been meaning to enter, this is your sign.

Applications close 28 June.

Most products have a one-way journey.

Make. Use. Bin. We think your students have other ideas!

This free KS3 Linear & Circular Economy challenge asks students to rethink waste through the lens of high-performance sport. Using the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team as their case study, they'll explore how repair, reuse and redistribution can keep materials in use for longer and reduce waste.

Then it's over to them. As Sustainability Managers, students pitch their own circular economy solutions and answer a question that matters far beyond the classroom: What if waste wasn't the end of the story?

One city. Endless potential.

New York reminded us what’s possible when young people are empowered to explore, create and challenge themselves.

Ideas became action.
Questions sparked innovation.
Confidence grew with every conversation, every challenge, every breakthrough.

Together with Howden, we celebrated curiosity, collaboration and the skills that will shape tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the journey.

We're giving away a solar-powered outdoor classroom. Yes, really. 🏆

Those solar panels that powered Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team base at SailGP events around the world? Zero diesel. Zero grid. Zero emissions at every venue.

They needed a new pitch. We found one.

One UK school wins a refurbished shipping container transformed into an outdoor learning space, powered by the same panels that kept one of Britain's best sports teams running clean.

On the outside: hydroponic plants, biodiversity sensors, a live dashboard tracking pollinators and pollution. Inside: your students, doing actual science.

Free. For real. Just show us what you'd do with it.

New resource. Real challenge. No easy wins.

Code for the Cup puts KS3 and KS4 students in one of the biggest pressure moments in sport: the America's Cup start line.

Students race, test and improve their code under pressure.

They’ll build computing skills, yes. But they’ll also learn that progress rarely starts with having all the answers.

It starts with giving it a go.

3 FREE, editable lessons. Ready for the classroom.

Your classroom just got a pit crew. 🏁⚡

We’ve partnered with the National Motor Museum to create four FREE motorsport-inspired challenges for KS3 & KS4.

Students build. Race. Debate. Go again.

Because sometimes the biggest win isn’t crossing the finish line. It’s watching a student realise: '*I’m actually good at this.'*

Built to be the lesson they’re still talking about on the bus home and beyond.

“Maybe this world is for me too”
Tiny sentence. Pretty big consequences.

Because once a young person starts seeing themselves as an engineer, scientist or problem-solver, futures can shift direction.

And the world needs more people ready to build what comes next.

More confidence. More possibility. More futures unlocked.

Stay with us as we take the mission further.
