How do you engineer a car to go faster than 1000 mph? Sarah Dorey and Oli Morgan, REME Bloodhound SSC Ambassador at British Army The Bloodhound team's challenge of pushing a car through the sound barrier has ensured they have had to break a few engineering boundaries. But that is only half the story. They have also set their sights on encouraging the next generation to become engineers." Project "What engineering challenges have been faced. update on the progress of the challenge The test run in South Africa, STEM, Rocket Car challenge for Kids

The BLOODHOUND Project is a global Engineering Adventure, using a 1000 mph World Land
Speed Record attempt to inspire the next generation about science, technology, engineering
and mathematics.
• Aim
• Inspire the next generation about science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
• Share an iconic research and development programme with a global audience.
• Set a new World Land Speed Record of 1000 mph.
• Sponsor media exposure.

48. MIER – THE SOCIO ECONOMIC DRIVERS…?
• Your livestock potential is about 2 small stock units per hectare
• Livestock mortality is high due to saline ground water
• Your pumps yield less water than a bottle of beer
• The only mineral being mined is salt (you scrape it off the surface)
• You need to travel 200km to get fuel (that’s a tank full return trip !!!)
• Nobody has a job – nothing works…
SO WHATIS THE MOST IMPORTANT
SOCIO ECONOMIC DRIVER ?

50. BUT INSPIRATION IS NOT ENOUGH…
