A CALL is out for young rocket scientists to step forward and bring an international award to Scotland with the launch of the UK’s largest youth model rocket competition.
Students aged 11 to 18 are being invited to enter the UK Aerospace Youth Rocketry Challenge (UKAYRoC) with the champions winning an all-expenses paid trip to Paris.
Teams compete regionally to qualify for the finals with winners representing the UK in a fly off against teams from the USA, Japan and France at the Paris International Airshow in June 2017. Could a team from Scotland finally beat the long-reigning Team USA?
