STEM Racing was formed in 1999 with one single aim: to bring engineering education to life. It still does. But today, it does so much more – impacting thousands of students every year, across every corner of the globe.
Our impact
Global Reach
Active in 65 countries and impacting 29,000+ schools annually, STEM Racing is a truly international movement. We’re helping students everywhere turn their passion for motorsport into real skills,
Breaking Barriers

Inclusive & Equitable
With 35% female participation and dedicated outreach programmes to underserved communities, we are working to make STEM accessible to all - regardless of location or priviledge.
When STEM Racing began in 2000, the goal was simple: bring engineering to life. Today, it has grown into something far bigger - a global movement that creates opportunities, levels playing fields, and enables dreams to become reality.
We provide scholarships to world-leading universities. We secure work placements at phenomenal organisations. We supply every student, everywhere, with free access to industry-leading software.
We break down barriers, reach across geographies, and open doors. STEM Racing makes STEM learning inclusive, accessible, and inspiring - nurturing talent, accelerating futures, and equipping young people with skills that last a lifetime.

A Global Community
From Asia to Africa, Europe to the Middle East, STEM Racing spans continents and cultures. With a presence in more than 60 countries, our diverse community of educators and learners is what makes us so powerful.
It’s a community where friendships are forged across oceans, ideas are exchanged across time zones, and barriers to learning are broken down every day.
From Classroom to Trackside
Supported by Formula 1, STEM Racing offers experiences money can’t buy – paddock access, pit lane walks, garage tours, and direct exposure to the world of motorsport.
These moments are magical and unforgettable. More importantly, they show students that careers in F1 and beyond are not distant dreams, they’re achievable futures.
That realisation sparks ambition. It lights fires. And it propels young people along a pathway already walked by countless STEM Racing alumni who now thrive in motorsport and STEM industries worldwide.
Looking forward
As we look to the future, STEM Racing remains focused on breaking new ground. Our mission is clear: to continue opening doors for young people through hands-on STEM learning and real-world industry access.
Expand Our Global Reach: We aim to grow our presence to over 80 countries by 2026, with a particular focus on underrepresented regions,
Increase Access to STEM for All: This includes scaling our Primary Class, distributing more free kits, and expanding Learning Hubs globally.
Strengthen University and Industry Pathways: Through new partnerships with universities and motorsport teams, we’ll offer more scholarships and mentorships - ensuring students see where STEM can take them.
