Help create a new ManagEnergy game

This year we would like 7-11s to help design a new scene for one of the ManagEnergy games. Children can create:

(a) a new vehicle and background for
BioValley Racer

OR

(b) a new character and background for Ronaldo vs ElectroViper

The vehicle could be a solar powered car racing through a jungle, or a futuristic train driving through fields of giants flowers. The character could be a boy, a girl, a robot, a polar bear or maybe another animal that is threatened by climate change! The judges will be looking for imaginative images relevent to sustainable energy. The winning artwork will be used to create a new version of the game, which will be added to the managenergy kidscorner website http://www.managenergy.net/kidscorner.
