What a fantastic day we had at the Passion for Learning Careers Carnival! The sun was shining, the atmosphere was buzzing, and the children from schools across Chester and Ellesmere Port were full of energy, curiosity, and creativity.
We were especially proud to sponsor the brilliant children from Meadow Primary School for this inspiring event.

It was wonderful to see them, along with so many other pupils, getting involved with our Car of the Future workshop, where they explored what vehicles of 20 years might look like. The questions they asked, the ideas they shared, and their enthusiasm for innovation were simply amazing – we might have met a few future engineers, designers, or MINI visionaries!
Of course, the stars of the day were the New All-Electric MINI Aceman and All-Electric MINI Cooper, which the children loved exploring. Seeing their faces light up as they discovered the cutting-edge features of our MINIs reminded us why we love inspiring the next generation.





We were blown away by the incredible entries in our Car of the Future competition, but three designs truly stood out, each winning a cuddly MINI bulldog:
-
Lily’s “Happiness Car” – powered by how you’re feeling when you get in. What a joyful way to travel!
-
Zach’s “Pod Car” – a futuristic vehicle with a propeller and powered by energy from everything around it.
-
Sofia’s underwater-ready blue car – wind-powered and designed for adventures on both land and sea!



A huge thank you to Passion for Learning for organising such a brilliant event, and to all the children who took part – your creativity and imagination are truly inspiring. We can’t wait to see where your dreams take you!
