We have some superb tutors lined up from the top tiers of motorsport. If any of your students are aspiring race engineers then this is the course to help them on their career journey.

The online School has limited places, allowing students to network directly with the world-leading engineers and voice their questions during our live Q&A sessions.

We are now in peak season of short international opportunities that students may want to apply to undertake during Summer 2021.

These are either fully or partially funded and have deadlines in mid-April:

WMG has recently set up a series of webinars on automotive sensors which provides a base background into the sensor then invites some experts from industry to have a discussion and talks on challenges and opportunities for the technology and taking question from the audience if there are time. These webinars are opened to everyone and is free of change to sign up for where both students and participants from different companies join.

** Volunteering in Lightyear Foundation's Virtual Lab​​ **

We have been shared information from the Lightyear Foundation, a science charity that breaks down barriers to disabled children accessing STEM. They run a programme called the Virtual Lab, which takes place on Zoom and enables disabled young people to enjoy science experiments in a supported and accessible format. They have previously worked with STEM students at other universities and are currently recruiting more volunteers.

The Virtual Lab in an online programme for disabled children and young people who are passionate about science. Each Virtual Lab has 4 sessions, in which the group take part in a different hands-on science experiment together. The young people use equipment that we post to them (including their own lab coat!) and the session is led by our STEM Lead, Dr. Sarah Bearchell on Zoom.  

The volunteer role involves:

• Logging into the Lightyear Zoom account and hosting the technical elements of the session. This may include; admitting people from the waiting room, sharing your screen and spotlighting individuals. You will always be supported by the Lightyear team members and never solely responsible for a session. There are always 2 team members minimum on a call. You will be visible on camera. We can help you get to grips with Zoom and the functions you’ll need.
• Offering feedback and observations on students - how they manage with each task, areas for improvement etc.
• Each session lasts max. 45 mins. They sometimes vary in length, but don't go over 45mins. We meet on Zoom 15 mins before each session begins.
• Each Virtual Lab runs for 4 sessions with a cohort of 6 young people. Our upcoming Labs will take place in a school, and we are delivering one session per day for 4 days. They will run Tuesday - Friday, either 10:00 - 10:45 or 1:30 - 2:15.
• You can volunteer for one or multiple sessions. It’s wonderful when one volunteer can commit to a whole Virtual Lab (4 consecutive sessions) as this offers consistency to the students, but it is not essential. If you can only do 1 or 2 sessions, we’d still love to hear from you!
• If you are interested or have any further questions, please get in touch with Rhiannon on rhiannon@lightyearfoundation.org
