Here at the Museum we’re really passionate about supporting the next generation of technicians, engineers and scientists. We believe that whatever your background or strengths, the world of STEM has something to offer everyone.
In late June, our Learning Team hosted three exciting STEM Careers Days, packed with hands-on activities, interactive tours and inspirational talks from industry leaders to inspire the engineers and innovators of tomorrow.
With generous support from our friends at Capgemini Invent, over 200 participants tested their design skills in a flying machine aerodynamics session, then undertook a fast-paced wheel change challenge and delved into the science of an Archive with an exclusive look behind-the-scenes with our Archive team.
Capgemini also delivered thought-provoking keynote talks and we were thrilled to welcome Emily Grace, who shared her journey as an aspiring automotive journalist and her adventures restoring Barney, the Morris Minor.
The 24th June was dedicated exclusively to inspiring girls to consider STEM careers, the 25th was open to all whilst the 26th welcomed intergenerational learning from home educating families including many students with special educational needs.
We’re already looking ahead to next year’s careers week!

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
