Rubber bands took the place of rocket boosters on Monday 15 June when the Year 6 girls of Redland High Junior School attempted to build their own versions of the Bloodhound supersonic car and race them across the playground!
The BLOODHOUND Team and Education Ambassadors took the show car to a hangar in Wiltshire over the weekend of 12th and 13th September - it was the Science Museum's Festival of Innovation. The show car was the centre of attraction, placed right in front of a Constellation aircraft, and very soon the Education Team and Ambassadors were extremely busy helping children (and parents!) building and testing the BLOODHOUND balloon car.
August Bank Holiday 2009 and the BLOODHOUND team were taking part at the Imagineering Fair at the Country Festival held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. The full size show car was there proudly overseeing the event, along with the 1/10 scale model and the cutaway rocket engine.
However, the major attraction at this show was the activity developed by the Education Team - children of all ages all wanted to build and test their balloon cars!
The pictures really tell the story ...
I apologise – my web updates always seem to be late and I feel I am letting you down!
The BLOODHOUND team made a stunning appearance at the Big Bang Science Fair at Manchester Central.
What an exciting place to be - lots of activities for the visiting school parties; plenty of things to do, lots of noises - you can even have a go at welding chocolate!
