What do we do?

Experience Motorsport delivers STEM-focused school and youth events, offering both full day and half day sessions, with minimum of 20 and up to 50 students per half day (100 students per full day). Following an introductory talk, students are divided into six groups and carousel around a series of interactive activities.

Each session lasts 20–25 minutes, with 8 students per group. Learning materials are provided for each activity, supervising staff are fully briefed in advance, and professional driver coaching is provided for simulator sessions.

Activities include:

  • Racing simulators: exploring driving techniques and data analysis
  • Scalextric challenge: investigating electric circuits and control systems
