Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition

The Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition is more than just a competition, it’s a chance for young minds to shine and for big ideas to take centre stage. As always, the RSA is thrilled to be part of this event, celebrating student innovation with an award for the best road safety-related project.

Covering a wide range of topics in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), 500 shortlisted projects will proudly represent their schools and communities at the RDS from 7 to 10 January 2026.

What the RSA will be offering

Visit the RSA’s newly refurbished Shuttle to:

• Experience simulated virtual situations though our Virtual Reality film Consequences, which puts you in the shoes of a drink-driver where it deals with everything from injury to prosecution.
• Experience VR film Distractions giving you the experience of a crash in the VR world where you get to see the devastation of what can happen when looking at your phone-screen instead of your windscreen.
• Try the brake reaction timer to see how driving environments and speed affect your braking distances.
• Practice your road safety knowledge on our interactive games.

RSA Roll Over Simulator

The simulator continues to be highly effective in convincing people on the importance of wearing a seatbelt. The simulation shows what it would be like if you were in a car which turned over in a collision, and how wearing a seat belt could save your life.
