People Power #1: Seed to Speed
Artist and engineer Brendan Walker worked with Year 9 pupils to create a flotilla of steam-powered Pop Pop boats, fabricated from recycled tin cans. Boats were bio-fuelled with oil pressed from sunflower seeds, grown by the boys in a hydroponics tent. Boats were tested at the Victoria Park Steamboat Club - home of the Pop Pop world speed record of 43.84mph achieved by Chatterbox III in 1926.
As part of a bespoke project called Broadgate Stories, Hackney media students, working in SPACE MediaLab, were given training to provide them with digital & creative sector entry-level skills and inspiration. The aim is to make a real difference by helping young people into the jobs of tomorrow.
