This month, students from Northampton School for Girls visited Silverstone Park for a day of immersive experiences in engineering as part of the Silverstone Park Schools Programme which was facilitated over 6,500 meaningful encounters between students and volunteers since it first began.
Throughout the day, young women met role models and professionals in a variety of engineering roles from businesses based at Silverstone Park including Digital Manufacturing Centre, Dumarey Green Power, Nicab, Silverstone Composites and the National College for Motorsport. Students heard first-hand about different career paths, early career routes such as apprenticeships, and the challenges and opportunities in engineering.
