Their day will culminate with a special presentation from Eliza Seville, Formula Woman 2022 winner.
To continue their learning back at home or school, students will also receive a goody bag containing two STEM activities, including a salt-powered car kit to take away.
Claire Broader from the Museum's Learning and Engagement Team said: “We’re delighted to be once again hosting our STEM Careers Days, which we hope will inspire and empower the engineers and scientists of the future! It will be an exciting day of immersive and interactive learning in a unique setting, surrounded by our amazing collection of historic British cars.”
