Why are we involved?
“Industry 4.0” is coming, as a result we need more engineers. When NASA launched the Apollo space program & landed man on the moon, the number of American students taking STEM based degrees at universities sky rocketed. The Bloodhound project is to be the UK's Apollo program, inspiring the next generation of engineers.
