We’re thrilled to have launched the 2024 UK Youth Rocketry Challenge (UKROC) with a webinar to help explain all about the competition and what’s involved.

UKROC offers an exciting and unique opportunity for students aged between 11-18 to further learn about science, technology and maths in an interactive and engaging way.  You’re in good company, with many teams participating in the challenge for the very first time. 

So, our webinar ‘UKROC – What’s it all about’ offers the perfect chance to find out more about the competition and how to get started. You can also ask questions to our 2023 UKROC international winners and our rocketeers.

UK Youth Rocketry Challenge final back with a blast

On Thursday 7 October 2021, six teams from across the country went head-to-head in a final to be crowned national champions. All they had to do was to design, build and launch a model rocket carrying a fragile payload (usually a raw egg) which is brought back to the ground safely and without breaking! It’s an opportunity for young people to get engaged in STEM in a fun and exciting way.

  • 1st Place: Team Vesuvius from King Edwards School, Bath
  • 2nd Place: Team NHASA from North Halifax Grammar School
  • 3rd Place: Team Icarus from Epsom College.

The honourable finalists were:

  • Physics Nerds from NHGS
  • Gordonstoun Rocketeers from Gordonstoun School
  • Where are My Engines, Holt? from Tiffin School

Congratulations and thanks to our sponsors Lockheed Martin and Royal Aeronautical Society for supporting the event.
