# BBC Micro:bit Model Rocket Car Competition .. Interested???

  ![Image of BBC Micro:bit Model Rocket Car Competition  .. Interested???](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/news/Rocket_Car.jpg)  19 July 2016

The winning car was designed and made by Rylan Fairhurst and Robert Bridge (Y10) with their car named “Cary McCarface” which went around the track at speeds of 37 mph.  We will be competing again in September with new cars and would love some more people to join in the competition. If you are interested and would like to join the Science Club, please speak to Mrs Powell.
