Hundreds of school pupils from across Northern Ireland will get to see a Formula One car in Ballymena next week.
The show car makes a pit shop at a major science, technology, engineering and maths festival.
One project of many will ask young boffins to create a scaled-down CO2-powered racing car capable of forty five miles per hour.
Another project, entitled 'Dare To Be Different', involving girls aged eight to eleven, will inspire them to shatter negative perceptions around women in motorsport.
The four day STEM@TheCircuit 2017 festival is at Ballymena Showgrounds from next Tuesday April 4th.
