Explore Learning has always been interested in the balance between education and play, and how the two can work together to create fearless learners.

We’re involving our members to help us find some of the best educational games and products available for families with a new road testing programme. This will help us to keep our surf club activities exciting and fun, as well as recommending some great products to our members.

We’ve been chatting to some fantastic companies to provide our members with their products to trial at home. We’re really looking forward to sharing their experiences and reviews – hopefully they will help you with ideas for educational games to play with your family!

We asked our members to design a futuristic racing car helmet as part of a competition with the London Motor Show – and we received over 2,300 entries!

Mehdi Zafari, a 13 year old boy from East Sheen, has beaten off stiff competition to design the winning entry in the Racing Car Helmet of the Future competition run by The London Motor Show in partnership with Explore Learning.

To mark the return of The London Motor Show to the capital this weekend, the competition asked children to produce their dream design of the Racing Car Helmet of the Future. The lucky winner will now be travelling to the show with his family in a chauffeur driven luxury car, where he will meet the former Stig, Ben Collins!

There were also three runner ups whose entries have earned them VIP tickets to attend the show on Sunday with their families. The runners up who really stood out thanks to their exceptional entries were Richard Wellman, aged 11 from the Explore Learning centre in Romford, John Pollard, a 9 year old from the Orpington centre and Amber Hudson who is 9 years old and from the Wallington centre.

The competition proved a real hit with the Explore Learning members, attracting around 2,300 entries.

Stephen Maitland-Oxley, Events Director at The London Motor Show says: “We were thrilled to team up with Explore Learning on this Racing Car Helmet of the Future. The quality of the entries was exceptional and I think we found a very worthy winner! We look forward to welcoming Mehdi and the runner ups to the show this weekend and well done to all those that took part.”

Across The London Motor Show weekend, which is taking place from the 5^th-8^th May at Battersea Evolution, exhibitors will be showcasing their latest vehicles with prices ranging from £8,000, to in excess of £200,000. Alongside the vehicles, the lecture theatre will play host to a fantastic line-up of honoured speakers including, Sir Stirling Moss, Tiff Needell and Nigel Mansell who’ll be focussing on a number of major motoring issues.

Carey Ann Dodah, Head of Curriculum at Explore Learning says: “We were amazed at the sheer response we had to the Racing Helmet of the future competition. We’re always thinking of new and inventive competition ideas that will engage the children and we jumped at the chance to work with the world famous London Motor Show! Our members thoroughly enjoyed creating their entries and I am so pleased for Mehdi; his design was brilliant and I’m sure he’ll have a fantastic time this weekend!

The London Motor Show is open to the public from 6^th-8^th May and children under 10 go free. On the door ticket price is £20 – for more information visit www.thelondonmotorshow.co.uk/
