Welcome to the BLOODHOUND Education Autumn newsletter
After a busy summer of STEAM camps and clubs we are pleased to be visiting schools again and bringing the world of science and engineering to you!
In this issue:
• New “sustainable futures” workshops
• Visit the Bloodhound Education centre
• After school STEAM Club
• Half term activities
• Balloon car resources
New sustainable futures workshops – book now!
With the ever-increasing need for sustainable engineering solutions, our existing workshops have been refreshed to explore the cleaner and smarter technology in future transportation and how renewable resources can power our homes and schools.
We also have 3 new workshops:
1. Additive Manufacturing – technology which produces zero waste and is 90% better for the environment. Explore how this technology works. Experiment with 3D printed components to design and build a vehicle and see how the different properties affect performance.
2. Prototype Vehicles – Vehicle technology is changing all the time. Explore the science of movement, materials and processes. Design, build and test your own prototype vehicle using different means of propulsion.
3. Renewable Energy – Sustainable and renewable technology will be critical to reduce the risk of further climate change. Explore how these technologies work through constructing your own working wind turbine and learn how to produce electricity from kinetic energy and see the results to create a genuine ‘light bulb’ moment.

Visit the Bloodhound centre
Bring your class or group to our centre for a tour and to take part in a STEAM workshop. We can accommodate small groups of 10 to larger groups of up to 50.
We also run activities outside of school hours, at weekends and during the holidays.

Half term Activities
We will be opening our doors for family activities on 27th and 28th October to explore rocket car engineering and additive manufacture.
If you would like to bring your family along, click here for more information.
Balloon Car Kits
Our very popular balloon car workshop is available for you to run at your school. Kits cost £2 + postage and there is a minimum order for 10.
