Race To The Line

Raihan 7V

Schools from all over the world can take part in Race To The Line which makes it an exciting competition. The "Model Rocket Car STEAM Box" includes everything you need to design, build and race model rocket cars across the playground!

“The challenge has so far engaged over 100,000 year 7 students with this real world STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) learning experience. Last season an all-girl team won the global final in the UK with the first 100mph model rocket car in the challenge's history.”


Race To The Line is an event that takes place across many schools in Brent and aims to promote science and physics in a really fun way! This is the second year in a row that Alperton Community School will be taking part, linking subjects science and product design. For this event, year 7 students will work in groups to design and create a rocket car with a real rocket inside of it. 


To make a model ‘rocket car’ students will first have to design a model car in their groups. Once the design is finalised, they will be taken to a product design room to start cutting and smoothing their car into the shape they want it. After this, they will be equipped with a micro-bit and a rocket which will make them ready to race! 


See you at the finish line!
