Amazing to see the positive reactions to the final ramp design 😊

We can't wait to see the success of the project continue to grow over the coming years!

Well done to all the team involved in the @LugeProject - the ability to train our starts in the UK and introduce more young people to the sport of #luge will be invaluable. We can’t wait to try it! #lugelove

The luge ramp hand-over event was an amazing success 🥳

It was great to see so much enthusiasm from all the kids involved in the project!

We hope our partnership with @RoyalsCo @RNRMLuge @NavySTEM has inspired some future engineers❗️

🛷The Royal Navy’s luge team has a new mobile ramp

👷‍♀️A group of Engineering Masters students @CaledonianNews worked with 6 primary schools on the project

🎉They all met today for an official hand over

What a great day to celebrate the project and its success 💃

Looking forward to seeing @LugeGb further up that leaderboard in 2026 👀🙏

Sliding into the weekend with the @RNRMLuge team and their new training ramp built in collaboration with @CaledonianNews students and pupils from schools across the local area. A world first for Glasgow and beyond!

Many thanks to all for the massive support along this year. It was an amazing experience to work with Primary school pupils on the First artificial Luge Starting ramp in the world. We can't wait for all athletes in the UK to start training on it🥇

🚨 CHALLENGE 🚨

We want you to join two pieces of paper together like you can see, one with tape and one with staples, and comment on your results.

Which is stronger? Why is it stronger? Etc.

Can you think of joining methods that could be even better?

Let us know 😁

🎉 GREAT WORK 🎉

Amazing to see P7 looking at some really important design considerations and even equations of motion❗️

Can't wait for the visits to start next week where we can bring all of our amazing ideas together 🧠

[Bargarran Primary @BargarranPS]

More Luge work in P7. Today we looked at friction and the properties of materials that would be best for high speeds. We calculated speed using the calculation S=D/T. @AttainRen @RNRMLuge @LugeProject

💥 AND WE ARE OFF 💥

Great to see the team out and practicing for the upcoming season🤗

Can't wait to see the training ramp complete and in use, wonder which athlete will have the pleasure of trying it out first 😱

Here's to a successful season for @RNRMLuge 🎉
