Support Design Engineering
We are delighted that St Catherine's Design Engineering programme for Sixth Form girls has been such a huge success. The first car off the 'production line' was a bright yellow Westfield Final Edition with a second car now in build. This wonderful opportunity has not only provided a truly immersive learning opportunity for our Sixth Form girls but has also inspired girls from the ages of 4 to 18 to believe that they too might be engineers of the future!
As girls worked to complete our first build, we launched The CAT's Car Club, inviting donors to become Founder Members and to help to make it possible for us to buy a second car and run the programme for a further year.
Our thanks to all the members of The CAT's Car Club for their ongoing support. By making a generous gift £555 they have helped to make this exciting project possible. We have been delighted to enjoy track mornings together at the historic Goodwood circuit - a real celebration of all that the girls have achieved with this build.
We are committed to making the Design Engineering build project a regular feature of the St Catherine's calendar. In order to resource the kit car project for a further year, in addition to the amount raised by the generous charitable support of the School community, we need to sell the car.
All final tweaks and checks are being made in readiness for IVA certification and registration and the car, built entirely by our Sixth Form girls under the guidance of Mr White and the Design Engineering team, will soon be available to buy, should you be a sportscar enthusiast!
Have you always wanted to build your own kit car but never found the time? Do you long to see yourself flying round the track at Goodwood? Are you nostalgic for the days when you last drove an open top sportscar? If you are looking for a track car to take to some of the UK's famous track venues; or prefer to imagine yourself driving through leafy Surrey on a sunny Summer afternoon, this is a great opportunity to enjoy all the fun of a Westfield without committing to building it yourself!
Imagine the sense of pride that you will feel, knowing that your car has been built by a team of young women from St Catherine's and made possible by your support and your advocacy for women in STEM.
If you would like to talk more about supporting this exciting project, do please get in touch and we will be delighted to help or to facilitate a conversation with Ali White.
