About this event

Lecture

Families, children everyone are very welcome and warmly invited to attend this special Lecture.  
This meeting is preceded by a presentation, for students, in the afternoon at Shrewsbury School
Bloodhound SSC is an exciting UK project to raise the land speed record to over 1000 mph. This is an up date on current progress and a review of the challenges facing the team, including finding a suitable location for the record attempt. One of the objectives of the project is to stimulate interest in engineering as a career, so the event will be of particular interest to students as well as practicing engineers.  

About the Speaker

Dave Rowley is the Education Programme Director for BLOODHOUND SSC.  He commenced his engineering career with an electrical and electronic apprenticeship at the British Aerospace (BAe) site at Filton working on the Concorde programme. His work with education started with recruitment and schools liaison for BAe, before joining a small team at the CBI Education Foundation to set up the UK Teacher Placement Service. This was followed by national roles with BAE Systems and Young Engineers to focus on the promotion of engineering and technology to young people and teachers.

His role at The Royal Academy of Engineering focused on bringing coherence to the promotion of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and he was invited to join the BLOODHOUND SSC team to set up an education programme. This STEM coherence is now being developed through his work with BLOODHOUND SSC as education programme director.
