Protocol National launch BLOODHOUND SSC to the FE sector at the AoC Annual Conference 2009

This year at the AoC (Association of Colleges) Main Conference at the ICC in Birmingham, we introduced BLOODHOUND SSC (Super Sonic Car) to the FE sector and asked colleges to sign up to The BLOODHOUND Education Programme. The car and the exciting project it represents went down fantastically well with the college delegates and learners alike. Due to this response, we are proud to announce that we have taken the decision to become Stripe Sponsors of the project and be heavily involved every step of the way. So far 140 colleges have signed up.

In 2012 BLOODHOUND plans to shatter the current World Land Speed Record and reach over 1,000 mph. To put that into perspective, thats four football pitches per second (blink and you will miss it!). The BLOODHOUND team have created a great animation to help you visualise this level of speed - click here to watch. If you are a STEM specialist and this is the kind of project that inspires you, would you like to become a Protocol National BLOODHOUND education ambassador, spreading the word and enthusing learners in the colleges in your area? In early 2010 we will be looking for ambassadors to support the team who already go out to schools.
