STEM & EDUCATION

My passion for karting naturally connects with my strong interest in motorsport engineering and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Through school programmes and extracurricular activities, I actively pursue opportunities that combine racing with engineering knowledge, helping me develop both as a driver and a future engineer.

Williams Racing Experience Centre

I was selected by my school to take part in a STEM visit to the Williams Racing Experience Centre. This was an incredible opportunity to see how STEM is applied in real-world motorsport engineering and to learn more about the operations of a Formula One team.

During the visit, we took part in a group engineering challenge focused on testing a crumple zone on a Formula One front wing. My team presented our findings and won the presentation challenge.

I also won an F1 simulation competition, racing on iconic circuits and demonstrating my racing skills and passion for motorsport.

This experience strengthened my ambition to pursue a career as a Formula One Engineer, combining my love of racing with engineering innovation.

Greenpower Education Trust – Greenpower Challenge

As part of an after-school STEM club, I participate in Greenpower Racing in the Formula 24 category. This programme allows teams of students to design, build and race a single-seater electric car.

Our team competes at major UK circuits including Lotus, Ford test tracks and Goodwood.

My karting experience helps the team in several ways:

Assisting with problem-solving during car assembly
Helping improve car setup and driver performance
Coaching other drivers on racing lines and track awareness

This experience develops both my engineering and teamwork skills while strengthening my understanding of motorsport technology.

EAQ Programme (Enquire, Aspire, Question)

I was selected to participate in the EAQ Programme, which stands for Enquire, Aspire, Question. This programme supports a group of high-achieving students within my school, challenging us to reach our highest potential.

Alongside leadership skills, the programme focuses on key STEM subjects including:

Mathematics
Science
Design & Technology
English

Through this programme, I am working towards developing leadership skills and academic excellence, helping prepare me for future opportunities in motorsport engineering and beyond.
