Protocol National and Bloodhound SSC at the 2009 AoC Conference

At the AoC (Association of Colleges) Annual Conference 2009 at the ICC in Birmingham, we introduced BLOODHOUND SSC (Super Sonic Car) to the FE sector and asked colleges to sign up to The BLOODHOUND Education Programme. The car and the exciting project it represents went down fantastically well with the college delegates and learners alike.
