The BLOODHOUND project has launched a national competition called “Race for the Line”. Teams of students from schools across the UK will be taking part in the challenge to create a model rocket car that will compete in race days at regional Race HUBs around the country. UTC Oxfordshire is a regional Race HUB and we would be delighted to welcome as many teams as possible from local schools who wish to take part.
Take a look at the following video of the launch of the challenge to get an idea of what’s involved:
