Jaguar F1 Team in Schools	Students are given a brief to design a model CO2 powered F1 Car of the future using a CAD (Computer Aided Design) package such as Solid Edge. Once the cars are designed, they are transferred into CNC (Computer Numerical Control) language using a CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) package such as EdgeCAM. Cars are then manufactured on a CNC machine such as the Denford MicroRouter. Students are required to test their designs before attending a regional final, either in school or at their local manufacturing/test/race centre.	http://www.f1inschools.co.uk
Headstart Science & Engineering University Experience Courses	Headstart Courses offer year 12 students the opportunity to stay at the engineering department of a university to find out what it is like to study for a degree in science or engineering. Some courses also offer an additional day called Dragonfly, which encourages year 10 girls to spend a day on the courses.	http://www.headstartcourses.org.uk
