A Racing Car Is Born (DVD 2004)

I teach youngsters who have decided to return to mainstream education after absences for varying reasons which may have been as long as five years. They now see what a bleak future thry have and we try and re-engage them with literacy and numeracy via projects such as building kit cars rather than them learning from others how to steal them. This may seem to some a strange way but by appealing to their interests we can steer them inot positions of employment rather than becoming a long term statistic. This DVD helps us capture the essence of building a kit car and the fun that can be had so in some instances they have actually managed to get to college on engineering courses instead of hanging around on the streets. We have numerous instances of this and the DVD enables us to effectively communicate what they could work towards from the outset with the various types motorsport they could become associated with. The build plan is excellent and helps communicate in a way that is sometimes difficult to covey at the outset.
I would recommend this to any teacher/tutor on a similar course and/or the kit car builder who sometimes may wonder why he or she is working in the garage or shed at 2 in the morning!!!

A great DVD!!!! and worth every penny.
