Cool School Competition

 

Bus stops, train stations and ferry terminals…boring! Imagine having a giant slide across Auckland, an underwater hyper-fast train to Australia or even an elevator to space! Do you think you have a better, more creative public transport idea?

 
 

We are calling out to all children across the country to dream up their own design for a public transport station.

Send us your designs and go into the draw to win one of three $200 prizes for your school.

It could be a station that is:

  • designed for rail, another mode of transport, or transport that doesn’t even exist yet!

  • overground, underground, in the water, or the sky!

Design criteria

We are looking for innovative designs that highlight at least one sustainable design element that:

  • reflects the culture and/or history of Aotearoa

  • considers the environment

  • caters for the needs of other people

Get started:

Click here to see how the Link Alliance and CRL partnered with Mana Whenua and consulted a wide range of people to design four innovative and sustainable underground train stations in Auckland.

What to do:

  • Send in a picture, video or create a physical station

  • Give your station a name and briefly describe how it is sustainable in some way

  • Use your imagination! Be creative! Dream big!

Things to think of:

  • What is important to you that you would incorporate into your design?

  • What might people need or want in a station?

  • What is original?

  • What would you want in a transport station?

Share

  • Share your work by sending us a public link or a file (less than 10Mb) as an attachment to communications@linkalliance.co.nz

  • Tell us your name, year group, and the name of your nominated school
