SCHOOLCHILDREN are being challenged to think about green energy using a miniature Mini.
As part of the Ciao! festival, scientists and artists teamed up with schools for workshops looking at climate change.
Engineers from the Mini factory at Cowley visited 10 schools taking with them a model Mini which the children had to work out how to propel using sustainable energy.
Mini hosts a workshop tomorrow morning to build a tree out of recycled material. Call Tom Nolan on 01865 200780 to book a place.
