Audit of the Bloodhound Education Programme, 2012-2013

Key Findings

• There is evidence of substantial progress made by the BEP throughout 2012 and early 2013. A total of 525 Bloodhound Ambassadors currently volunteer with the BEP. The BEP and Bloodhound Ambassadors supported, or led, 133 separate educational events in the UK throughout 2012, representing a total of 284 days spent at events. The BEP estimates that 56,800 pupils were involved in Bloodhound educational activities in 2012.
• The BEP team has also made considerable progress in developing its online offer for teachers, pupils and schools over the past year. In particular, this includes Bloodhound BLAST, a free, interactive learning environment relating to the Bloodhound project.
• Outcomes for young people include: increased enthusiasm for, and improved understanding, knowledge and skills in, STEM subjects; new learning about engineering and an increased interest in engineering careers; and the development of personal and transferable skills such as confidence, communication skills, team work and problem-solving.
• As a continually evolving organisation, there are some areas which may benefit from further development to improve and enhance the BEP’s education offer. These include: expanding the range of activities available to schools; strengthening data monitoring arrangements; and improving communication, both internally and externally.
