F1 in Schools rebrands to STEM Racing.

STEM Racing has the Continued Support of Formula 1

Denford Ltd is proud to announce its ongoing partnership with the global STEM Racing programme, formerly known as F1 in Schools. 

This rebrand signifies an exciting new chapter for the programme, now officially supported by Formula 1. As a longstanding collaborator in delivering innovative solutions for STEM education, Denford remains committed to empowering young minds worldwide through its cutting-edge technology and educational equipment.

STEM Racing retains the legacy of F1 in Schools, inspiring over 1.8 million students annually across 64 countries to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. The programme enables students to engage in an immersive experience where they design, manufacture, and race miniature Formula 1 cars using professional-grade CAD/CAM software. 

Denford has been instrumental in providing the essential equipment that supports these activities which have been pivotal in the programme’s expansion and success, enabling students to learn through hands-on experience and fostering pathways into engineering, design, and motorsport careers.

The Future of STEM Racing with Denford and Formula 1

The rebranded STEM Racing programme will continue to evolve as a leading initiative for inspiring the next generation of innovators. By collaborating with Formula 1 and leveraging Denford’s expertise, STEM Racing will bring the excitement of motorsport to classrooms and competitions worldwide. 

Students work in teams to develop their own F1-inspired projects, taking on roles such as design engineer, project manager, or marketing lead. Their efforts culminate in regional, national, and World Finals events, where they showcase their skills before expert judges.

Formula 1’s Commitment to STEM Education

Ellen Jones, Head of ESG at Formula 1, commented:

“Education is the cornerstone of the future of F1, and we are passionate about empowering future generations globally to pursue their dreams in STEM and motorsport. The support for STEM Racing builds on over two decades of fantastic work and exemplifies how we are opening pathways for young people to achieve their goals and see what is possible.”

Steve Oddy, Managing Director of Denford Ltd, expressed his pride in the partnership:

“Denford has worked hand in hand with F1 in Schools, now STEM Racing, to transform STEM education for young people around the world. Reaching 1.8 million students annually across 64 countries is a testament to the programme’s global impact and our shared commitment to inspiring the next generation. By continuing to innovate and provide world-class educational tools, we are excited to support STEM Racing in its mission to spark a passion for STEM and motorsport in classrooms everywhere.”
