Wonderful to meet students from Epsom College at ADS group's ROC reception today. UK ROC is a one of a kind and a great hands-on learning opportunity for 11-18 yr olds.
UK ROC involves the design, build, and launch of a model rocket, with the payload of two raw eggs representing the astronauts. The rocket must get closest to at least 835 feet in altitude within a goal timeframe of 41-44 seconds and the ‘astronauts’ must remain intact throughout the launch and landing. Teams across the UK compete regionally to qualify for the national finals with the winners representing the UK in a fly-off against international teams at the 2022 Farnborough International Airshow. Rules governing the competition are altered each year to encourage innovative thinking amongst participants and ensures previous designs can’t be repeated.
So pleased that students from The Cowplain School are competing this year. Best of luck to them!
