The mission: to build a car capable of travelling at over 1000mph and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Science made simple are taking the project on the road, in this brand new interactive science show.
What are the challenges in building a vehicle that travels faster then a speeding bullet? See rocket tests, the effect of drag and the fastest mathematician on earth.
Audience: The show is suitable for years 5-8.
Duration: 45-50 minutes
We will need the venue to provide:
• Drinking water for the presenter
• Access to power sockets
• Screen to project onto
• Two long tables
• Room that can be darkened

As part of the Bloodhound Supersonic Car project, Science Made Simple are running an interactive science show in schools for Years 5 to 8. They are described on the flier attached.

Due to a significant amount of funding, these are being offered at £75/day at 3 sessions/day, hosted at a secondary school with a clause that at least one of the 3 sessions is available to primary feeder schools NOTE: These shows would normally be charged to a school at £575/day.

Each show can take up to 200 students but numbers depend on the venue used at the school.

Primary Engineer is pleased to announce the launch of their new ‘Special Leaders Award’ categories sponsored by key industry organisations. These special STEM awards are designed to actively encourage 5 – 19 year olds to learn more about specific science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers in the wider world. This ‘grass roots’ approach to motivating learners is helping to build students knowledge and confidence around individual subject areas. Pupils become active learners by interviewing professionals who work directly in these industries and continue to support their schools by becoming ‘Leaders for STEM’ to vigorously involve other pupils. Pupils who apply for these Special STEM Leaders Awards also have the opportunity to win a range of unique prizes and industry experiences.

The organizations supporting these special category awards are – The Royal Aeronautical Society, BLOODHOUND SCC, The Institute of Chemical Engineers, Women in Science Engineering and Construction and The Institute of Mechanical Engineers. These notable industry bodies are actively encouraging young learners to become more knowledgeable about specific subjects and how they can lead to interesting and rewarding careers. www.leadersaward.com

These awards are in addition to the original Primary and Secondary Leaders Award (see details in attached email). If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Susan Scurlock, National Director of Primary Engineer, directly at susan.scurlock@primaryengineer.com (or telephone Susan on 01254 720650 or 07725 269144).
