Jet Stream acquires second place in the NSW State final of the REA School Innovation Design Challenge

NOWRA, New South Wales and HORNSBY, New South Wales - 19 October 2006 - Jet Stream today acquired second place at the NSW State final of the REA Schools Innovation Design Challenge. The achievement was complimented with the "Best Engineering" prize.

"We are stunned with the result at our first ever competition," said Matthew Jordan-Frohlich, Jet Stream's Team Manager. "This result will definitely be a stand out point at our future competitions.”

The State final consisted of 14 teams coming from all parts of New South Wales. Each team has to design, test and make a CO2 powered F1 model car for racing at the final. This has to be complemented with sponsorship, marketing and presentation. The standard of work done is very high. The team with the fastest car goes through to the National final.

Because of this result, Jet Stream will be entering next year’s competition to gain a higher result.

Jet Stream started with a team of four members including Matthew Jordan-Frohlich, Benjamin Ho, Chris Sutton and Martin Dobell-Brown. After winning the school finals, James Taylor was added to the team. They are committed to being the best F1 in Schools team.
