Sir Anthony Cleaver Chairman of the Engineering and
Technology Board (ETB)
By Eliza Parr, Kelly Davies and Jessica England.
Ribby with Wrea Church of England Primary School. Preston Lancashire

Extract:
Sir Anthony went to a little village school which had limited resources. He says that the only science that he did there was biology which in his school days consisted of looking at nature! This is the reason that he got involved in The Big Bang festival (which he is currently chairman of). The Big Bang is one of the most successful ways to get children interested in science and maths! He said “The Big Bang inspires youngsters to get involved in engineering and makes innovators”.

Daniel Jubb Falcon Rockets BLOODHOUND SSC
By Marcus Tomlinson.
Cundall Manor School N Yorks

Extract:
Mr Jubb is mad about rockets. He began building them out of household objects when he was only five years old, with the help of his grandfather, Sidney Guy. At seven, he began to make model rocket kits, and started launching big rockets with his granddad when he was ten. He was just 11 years old when they set up The Falcon Project, the company that now designs rockets for military applications, as well as commercial and research rockets. I am sure that, within the next two or three years, he will become famous all over the world as the man who designed the rocket for BLOODHOUND SSC, the first car to travel at 1,000 MPH (the record attempt is planned for 2010; the website is a must-see, www.bloodhoundssc.com)
