Thanks for the update Chris, I am very excited about your new demonstration, I hope it goes well and please do feel free to share with the EngX community

Oh, I forgot to mention, I was told that Silverstone Museum was an IET Faraday Challenge venue last year, something that I hope to get involved with in future. I also potentially have a local primary school on the hook for their maiden First Lego League entry - a very exciting prospect. I had spent two days in Savoy Place earlier this summer in the Mountbatten Room with 130,000 pieces of Lego and members families getting creative - that was fun. I will be at Savoy Place this Thursday (17 Oct) for the new Presidents evening if anyone wants to say hello. I have also just arranged to visit the IMechE One Birdcage Walk library that morning, a bit of nostalgia as my father was CEng IMechE.

Good evening everyone. I am a fairly new member of the IET Education volunteers team, based in Milton Keynes. Today, I visited the Silverstone Museum, which is almost on my doorstep. I was setting up for a large careers fair all day tomorrow, multiple schools, around 500 pupils expected. I took over a table this afternoon from McLaren F1, a very helpful outreach lady who passed on her specially aerodynamic gaffer tape so that I could get my mains wires tidy! She had various bits of broken F1 car on display, all very intricate composite shapes, left over from unintended contact on the track ! Mercedes are due tomorrow. I had 30 mins after setup to get around the exhibits, and I saw intact cars driven by Jensen Button, Nigel Mansell, Lewis Hamilton, Damon Hill and David Coulthard, some of which I had seen race trackside ( and crash in DCs case). Of particular interest to me was the history of the track which was transformed from farmland to an RAF bomber command training base in WW2. I am documenting events in the MK area, before it was built, mainly the period of August-November 1940 as it is quite a story of German technology advantage then being tackled and nullified by British electronic counter measures. But I digress. It has been a great opportunity to visit the museum and tomorrow I will be handing out IET Education career information and engaging with as many young people as I can. I have a quite unusual demonstration that I may desribe tomorrow.

Looking forward this week to reading the stories from other STEM ambassadors, as they share their stories about how volunteering with the IET has rewarded and inspired them.
