Scorton & Calder Vale Rocket Building Competition

Not too far in the distant past we delivered our award winning service to schools in Scorton & Calder Vale. The project was a roaring success. The students, staff, parents and we all loved it. These are two rural schools situated somewhere within the Lancastrian triangle of Blackburn, Garstang and Lancaster. After we left they continued their study of astronomy and space travel by staging a rocket building competition, and we were invited back to judge it. It was an extraordinary event that saw whole families working with one another, coming together to do something truly fantastic, to build a working rocket with a propulsion system and launching site or device.

It is difficult to express in words how talented these students are, or how brilliant their work turned out to be, so I will simply let the YouTube video below do the talking.



Thanks for the memories kids.
