“I’ve always been passionate about engineering, always loved the smell of engineering” – that, in a nutshell, is at the heart of why Andrew Denford launched a not-for-profit STEM competition for students that has now flourished into a worldwide programme and retains the support of Formula 1.
2024 was a big year for the project, as it celebrated 25 years while also rebranding from F1 in Schools to STEM Racing, supported by Formula 1 and at the same time reaching 29,000 schools across 64 countries, while continuing to count on the support of all 10 teams on the grid.
