Sunshine for Stoke College

Hey kids! Buy your very own remote controlled solar car, and wow your friends as it cruises along at walking pace, occasionally bursting into flames! Don't miss out!

Pupils at Stoke College were delighted to find Affinity on their playground when they arrived at school on Wednesday 22nd April. After a presentation in morning assembly years 6, 7 & 8 students were given a chance to build their own solar buggies. In the midday sunshine there followed a thrilling solar race, whilst the CUER team took advantage of the good weather to demonstrate Affinity in action.

Cambridge Precision joined us for the visit and the Haverhill Echo covered the story, which you can read here. For more photos take a look at our gallery (photos by Dan Rodgers).
