The Chichester Education Business Partnership has been very lucky again this year to be offered the opportunity to work with the team at the Festival of Speed who are hosting a special event to support students studying Motor Mechanics, Technology and Engineering.

The focus for the Festival of Speed this year is ’Sparks of Genius - breaking records, pushing boundaries’ which fits well with trying to enthuse youngsters to think about a career in the industry

The special event, held at Goodwood House is being run with a view to giving theses very lucky students an insight into the range of jobs in the industry and the skills needed for them. Peter Stevens a professor with the RCA has arranged for guest speakers to include:

David Jones – Engineering the car
David Godber – Design modelmaker
Alan Sawyer – making the beautiful bits!
David Newall – Maintaining the car
Neil Twyman – Restoring the car

This year there is going to be a new Technology Pavilion, which will have the latest developments from a range of car and fuel manufacturers. It will also house a group of students from the car design course of the RCA who will be continuing/demonstrating a project to ’design a sports car for your dad’! They will be drawing, using CAD and 3D modeling on a big screen, have some scale modeling in clay taking place, and a video of the design process on continuous loop.
