Here you can see some students trying their hand at the wheel change challenge! Below are testimonials from previous STEM days here at the Museum:
"The day certainly exceeded expectations. We have done STEM days previously, but none as inspirational as this one." - Home Educating Parent
I would recommend this day to any female, motorsport focused or not. It was such an inspiring day… Girls need to hear your message. They can succeed and achieve in any career they choose. They just need to hear relatable stories from real women who have achieved so much - Parent
"All of our girls… were blown away by how great the day was. The girls went out talking about all the things they had done, the different cars and how much they enjoyed the day in general…the keynote speakers were fabulous" - Teacher, George Dixon Academy
