UKROC 2025 – Meet The Teams – LIFT Allstars
In the lead up to the National Final we are doing a “Meet The Teams” series. Over to Team LIFT Allstars…
Intro
- Team name – LIFT Allstars
- School/club – Tendring Technology College Rocket Club
- Region/location – Thorpe Le-Soken, Essex, South East Region
- Fun fact – This is our first time entering the competition and we can’t believe how many rockets failed or exploded.
What have you enjoyed the most about UKROC?
The students have had a chance to grow and develop their passion for STEM. The engagement through designing, developing and building their rocket has all contributed to this.
How did you find out about the competition?
We had been searching online for any STEM projects you could as a school. This was when we found the competition.
Would you encourage other teams to enter the competition?
Absolutely! There has been a real buzz around the school which has resulted in other students wanting to get involved in STEM activities for next year.
Why did your school/club want to get involved in UKROC?
Our after school STEM club needed to be re-launched. It had gone many years of no after school STEM provision. UKROC seemed an easy and accessible STEM activity to start it back up.
What does your teacher/club leader think about UKROC?
Our school has fully embraced the UKROC and our success. Due to our success, the school is starting an outreach STEM programme with our feeder primaries centred around UKROC and rocketry. We have also built closer ties to the local community charitable trust and engineering companies who kindly donated money to the rocket costs.
