1 Attachment(s)
The contractors designing & building the London 2012 Velodrome visited the winners of the London 2012 'VeloDream' competition.
Curwen Primary School in Newham won last year's 'VeloDream' by beating more than 500 schools who signed up for the competition around the country. The competition asked pupils to design their own dream cycling venues of the future. A full day of activity at the school included a presentation on the London 2012 Velodrome, followed by a chance for the pupils to design and build a 3.5m x 2.5m model of the VeloPark. Six groups each worked with a member of the contractor team to create a section of the VeloPark. At the end of the day, all the sections were put together to make the entire VeloPark, including the Velodrome and BMX Circuit. Ms Helm from Curwen Primary School said: 'Working with the Olympic Delivery Authority and Velodrome designers has been an amazing opportunity for our children and allowed them to experience working as a team on a larger project. The final outcome was incredible and a testament to everybody's hard work and creativity. As a school we are very excited about developing our own “Olympic legacy” through this Velodrome work.'
