Wednesday 20 September 2017 Rocketing Success Annual Rocket Competition The STEM students were fantastic at this year’s Rocket competition.

Sadly on the competition day the odds were not in our favour, however the students had a brilliant time and become real ‘rocket scientists’ through the process. That’s a label anyone would want on their CV!
