Please come alone and find out how technologies being developed today are being used in the future
Bloodhound Education Presentation with Q&A

We would like to invite you to a presentation, Q&A and tour of our unique Education Centre based at Gloucestershire Science & Technology Park.
Hear about the history of land speed record Cars including Bloodhound LSR and how it and other exciting technology innovations are shaping sustainable engineering for future transportation and inspiring future engineers.
Tickets £10. Family ticket £30 up to 5 people.
Summer term workshops & Skills Development Days
As we move to a time when we can engage in the classroom once more we would love the opportunity to come to you to encourage, challenge and inspire your future engineers. Our ‘real project’ linked activities enrich the curriculum, build skills confidence and can be tailored to suit your requirements. We can also run activities outside.
As one head teacher told us ‘You deliver more curriculum in a day than we can in a week’.
Don’t miss this opportunity for us to show real world applications and introduce the young people to employability skills they will need as they apply what they know to solve engineering problems. Developing team work, time management, resilience, presentation skills and much more.
Visit the Education Centre
Why not bring your pupils or club to us for a full, half day or twilight visit. All our workshops can be delivered from our unique venue at Gloucester Science and Technology Park. You will also be able to have a tour of the centre and try your hand at setting a land speed record on our Bloodhound simulator & virtual reality experience.
There is plenty of space at our site and we can also run workshops outside.
New STEAM Club starting 27th April – face to face & virtually

Bloodhound Challenge Box
We have packaged up some of our hands-on activities into an exciting Bloodhound Challenge Box for you to use in the classroom. In partnership with Curiosity Box we have developed a complete STEM kit which fuses design & technology with sustainability and chemistry. It is ideal for key stage 2 with transition to key stage 3. Challenge boxes are available now and £25 from each box will be donated to the charity.

Bloodhound Education Ambassador Programme
We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our education partners and sponsors. With new STEAM roles expected to double in the next 10 years and a 2017 shortfall of 173,000 skilled STEM professionals, working with us means you’ll be helping support the development of new STEAM talent.
Get in touch if you would like to discuss supporting our inspirational work with children and young people.
