Supported by the world’s most exciting sport, STEM Racing UK connects the classroom to industry - combining fun with future career pathways.
For the past twenty-five years, STEM Racing UK has sparked innovation in thousands of young people across the nation. By designing, making, and racing their own miniature racing cars, students don’t just learn about STEM, they live it.
Made for students, designed for teachers, and supported by Formula 1, STEM Racing UK gives pupils the fast track to STEM success, and a lot of fun along the way.
Our Competition
STEM Racing UK challenges students to build their own version of an F1® team. Working in groups of 3 - 6, they design, develop, and race their miniature cars while managing every aspect of their project.
Regional events lead to national finals, and the very best earn the chance to represent their country on the global STEM stage at at the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals.
