F1 in Schools STEM Challenge

Gibbons Engineering Group is proud to sponsor a team of high school students participating in the F1 in Schools STEM Challenge. This global initiative encourages students aged 9 to 19 to engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by designing, manufacturing, and racing miniature Formula 1 cars.

The F1 in Schools program aims to change perceptions of STEM subjects by providing an exciting learning environment. Students work in teams to develop their cars, mirroring the operations of a real Formula 1 team, which fosters skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and innovation. Beyond engineering, students gain valuable experience in areas such as project management, marketing, and financial planning, offering a holistic approach to STEM education.

By supporting these students, Gibbons Engineering Group is investing in the next generation of engineers and innovators. Sponsorships like these provide essential resources for teams to cover costs such as car manufacturing, team merchandise, and competition entry fees. This support enables students to focus on honing their skills and achieving success in the competition. It also allows them to access cutting-edge technology and tools, further enriching their learning experience.

We’re excited to announce that the team we are sponsoring for this project is Celeritas Racing. Derived from the Latin word for “speed,” Celeritas reflects the team’s dedication to precision engineering and innovation as they compete in the F1 in Schools STEM Challenge. This name not only embodies their mission but also highlights their commitment to excellence and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We look forward to seeing their passion for STEM drive them to success.

The partnership between Gibbons Engineering Group and the F1 in Schools team exemplifies the positive impact of industry support on educational initiatives. Such collaborations not only enhance students’ learning experiences but also contribute to the development of a skilled future workforce in engineering and technology sectors. By inspiring young minds, programs like these play a vital role in shaping the future of innovation and industry.
