>The Transport Systems Catapult 

this reminded me of a video clip that 
covers technology, catapults and popular forms of transport.

for the impatient this 
little gem is tucked away in the commentary between 6 minutes and 8 
minutes

transport more accessible

>Dear Psci-comm
>The Transport Systems 
Catapult is looking for schools to help run a technology competition 
for the Department for Transport that will help make transport more 
accessible. Please circulate to teachers and school groups you think 
might be interested in taking part - many thanks.

>New schools 
challenge to make public transport more accessible
>
>The All Aboard 
competition challenges students aged between 14-18 across the UK to 
come up with innovative solutions to make buses more accessible for 
people with visual or hearing impairments.
>
>Run by the Transport 
Systems Catapult on behalf of the Department for Transport, the 
competition was officially launched by Baroness Susan Kramer, Minister 
of State for Transport, on 24 October 2014. 
> 
>This is a great 
opportunity for students to use their creativity and design, art, 
technology, engineering or computing skills to solve a real-life 
challenge that can improve everyday life for thousands of people. The 
competition can be entered individually or in teams of up to five 
participants and some fantastic prizes are on offer, including a cash 
prize worth £1000, a tour of the Houses of Parliament with Baroness 
Kramer and the chance to see the winning idea turned into a product.
> 

>The deadline for entries is 13 February 2015 and finalists will be 
invited to present their work at the Big Bang Fair 2015, where a panel 
of judges will decide on the competition winner. Visit the competition 
website here where you can see the video of the launch and find all the 
information you need.
