Business Freescale promotes STEM subjects to kids in East Kilbride
2013/11/28Children from local schools were invited to Freescale’s East Kilbride technology centre to build their own rocket cars as part of Freescale’s support of science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities.
World land speed record supremo Richard Noble was there to help inspire the children.
“In the 1960s and 1970s children were inspired by the Apollo projects heading off to the moon but since then there has not been a similar level of adventure to inspire,” said Freescale. “Richard made a presentation to the children showing videos featuring land speed record challenges which were truly inspirational, and he also described the challenge of encouraging young people to undertake careers in engineering.”
The event was one of Freescale’s ‘Technical Enrichment Matrix’ activities, which are “intended to provide a platform for sharing the technical achievements within Freescale facilities around the world,” said the firm. It was run with participation from Germany and the Czech Republic, and included tours of the test lab.
A rocket car competition on the day was won by the St Andrews and St Brides school, based in East Kilbride.
Richard Noble drove Thrust 2 to the 1983 world land speed record of 633.468mph (1,019km/h). He went on to be team director for Andy Green’s 1997 763.035mph (1,221km/h, mach1.02) Thrust SSC record.
