BRIEF UPDATE OF STEM SUCCESSES!<br />
As reported in the Autumn issue of <strong>On</strong> <strong>Track</strong>, our electric car<br />
team CAUC (Complete and Utter Chaos) were crowned<br />
International Champions in the Greenpower F24 Championships.<br />
The team are now busy fundraising so that they can take part in<br />
the Beijing International competition to be held in the Olympic<br />
Park in September <strong>2017</strong>. This is part of the Beijing International<br />
Science and Technology Fair. The team were delighted to<br />
showcase Dylan in the foyer of Waitrose and raised over £300<br />
thanks to the generosity of Waitrose customers. A massive thank<br />
you to Slicker Recycling who have very generously sponsored the<br />
team which will help them on their way to Beijing<br />
