Dream Cars Imagined by Canadian Kids

Jacob Gaochen (age 6, Markham, ON). The “Recycling Submarine Car” cleans the air when it’s on land – but can also convert into a submarine to collect garbage and microplastics from the ocean and convert them into useful materials.

Abraham Pramanik (age 7, Toronto, ON). “My Rain Car” helps deliver water to people in countries where there isn’t enough. It has a big tank and a hose, and includes a radar to tell him where water is needed.

Emily Vo (age 7, Burnaby, BC). The “Recycled Paper Car” is made from recycled paper to help keep trash from landfill and reduce pollution. Parking is never a problem, since the car folds up to be carried anywhere.

Tara Ganipur (age 8, Waterloo, ON). The “Karamarine” runs on land, sea and air. Kara means “land” in Turkish, which Tara speaks. Her fish-shaped car would not pollute the earth.

Esha Kumar (age 11, Mississauga, ON). The “G Sharp – Symphony on Ice” is a magical and musical ride. It features a floating aquarium and sweet melodies, and entertains the world around it as it glides down the street.

Owen McClay (age 9, Calgary, AB). “The Sea Wiper” is an underwater vehicle that cleans up plastic and uses it as fuel. It includes a hose in the front and a brush at the back to give the oceans a good scrub.

Ethan Fang (age 14, Vancouver, BC). “Prometheus” is a turtle-shaped car that can take students to space. It has great versatility in any extreme environment.

Heidi Wang (age 14, Surrey, BC). The “Toyocar” is a car that people can assemble to meet their own needs. It also can be shrunk to the size of a toy, using an app, which saves parking spaces.

Vickie Wang (age 13, Vancouver, BC). The “Time Traveller” is built on clockwork wheels and fuelled by the ten enchantments of the winding timeline tree.
