Future engineers from local primary and secondary schools learned about the science and technology behind a 1,000 mph record attempt during a visit to Reaseheath College in Nantwich.<\/p>\n

Twelve schools from Nantwich, Crewe, Sandbach, Haslington, Stoke and Cannock were invited to take part in activities involving the Bloodhound Supersonic Car (SSC), the vehicle which will attempt the 1,000mph land speed record in South Africa in 2016.<\/p>\n

A replica of Bloodhound SSC, along with its education team, was a key attraction at Reaseheath\u2019s Family Festival in May and remained on campus for a week to allow local pupils to learn more about the exciting project.<\/p>\n

The event was run in support of STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths), a national education initiative to inspire young people to consider engineering as a career. The UK needs to attract 100,000 new engineers into the industry each year and currently recruits just 30,000 annually.<\/p>\n

Up to 120 pupils at Key Stages 2 and 3 visited Reaseheath each day to learn about Bloodhound SSC\u2019s development, which is being supported by some of the world\u2019s leading engineering companies including Rolls Royce.<\/p>\n

The young people had a chance to look at the car and those who asked the best questions were rewarded with a drive on a simulator. Other activities included constructing and testing an air driven Kinex car, 3D printing and planning a specially prepared desert base for the car and its support teams.<\/p>\n

Brine Leas School, Nantwich, Year 8 pupil Georgina Hardy, 13, who had just tested the aerodynamics of her Kinex car, said: \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do for a career but this has definitely given me an insight into engineering. The whole day has been very interesting and a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reaseheath FE Marketing Officer Stephanie Owen explained: \u201cWe invited our local schools into college so they could make the most of the wonderful opportunity offered by Bloodhound and its team. Reaseheath totally supports STEM projects and we hope that some of our young visitors will be inspired to become the engineers of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
