Sara-Jane Watkins, principal of SGS College and chair of the UTC governors, said: "We are really thrilled to have the involvement of the Bloodhound and Cyber teams with Berkeley Green. The events will be a great opportunity to enthuse young people with a passion for engineering, design, cyber and science and will demonstrate how the curriculum on offer comes to life through the use of innovative projects and employer designed briefs in order to contextualise theory into practical use.

"We are delighted with the continued interest in places for September 2018.
