Virtual Ballon Race
Take part in the 100% environmentally friendly virtual balloon race and
raise money having fun with family, friends and colleagues. Each balloon costs
£3 and you can personalise your balloon – what shape it will be and what colour.
You can even decide what thickness of rubber to use and how much helium to fill
it with.
Your balloon will then be launched along with
hundreds of others, from Westminster on Tuesday 2 June. The balloon that has
reached the furthest when the race finishes 7 days later, will win a prize:
1st Prize: £500
2nd Prize: Apple iPad
3rd Prize: 10 x lucky winner £10 book vouchers
All this fun without any harm to wildlife and
from the comfort of your own home. Who could ask for more!
Once your virtual balloon has been ‘released’
from Westminster, you can follow its progress on Google Maps and see how it
fairs against the elements. You can watch your balloon sail through the skies
with friends, family and colleagues tracking its progress along the way.
And the best thing? Throughout the race, you’ll
actually be able to see what happens to your balloon and you’ll find out what
position you finished in, which really stirs up that competitive spirit.
It is super easy and fun to take part in the
virtual balloon race. It only takes a few steps, but it’s an opportunity to
learn and teach geography and aerodynamics as well as put your design skills to
the test.
