STEM ON
TRACK
Backed by BWT Alpine Formula One Team, STEM On Track re-engages learners, builds real-world skills, and creates moments students and teachers will never forget.
we do...
WHAT
STEM On Track is a national challenge for KS3 and KS4 students, where young people build their own racing karts, learn the STEM theory behind it and race against other competing schools.
All guided by curriculum linked modules, hosted on our Race Academy platform.
WHY
we exist + why schools love it!
We exist to answer the question every teacher has heard before...
"When will I ever use this in real life?"
It's a fair question. When maths and science feel abstract, students switch off. STEM On Track closes that gap. We make the theory real. STEM On Track is built for teachers, by teachers. With a focus on:
-
Showing where Maths and Science exist in the real world.
-
Creating pathways into STEM and motorsport careers.
-
Engaging hard-to-reach and SEND learners.
-
Building teamwork, resilience, and confidence.
-
Building a sense of community that students feel and parents notice.
HOW
it works...
STEM activities generally fall into three categories: the good, like our friends at STEM Racing, the bad, and the downright ugly (think building towers out of spaghetti).
We aim to go BEYOND. Here's how it works...
BUILD
Students work in teams to construct a real race kart from the chassis up, no prior experience needed, all guided by our digital Race Academy platform.
The students find sponsors, design their kart graphics kit and apply it to their bodywork.
Students build their kart step by step, whilst completing curriculum linked learning modules.
JAN
MAY
Each team tests their racing kart for the first time at our Test events, whilst also attaining their racing license.
SEPT
Kart-kit + tools arrive in school and students login to the Race Academy LMS.
The climax of the competition, schools from around the country compete in a final endurance race, and discover endless possibilities at our National Finals and STEM Fair.

WHO
we work with
We work individual schools, academic trusts and industry partners across the UK. From small SEN settings to full Trust rollouts, local state schools to Formula One teams.
Why? Because STEM On Track is designed with inclusivity in mind.
Our model is plug and play, it’s built for growth and easy adoption. You can easily add more teams to a single school, roll it out across an entire Trust, or deliver it across multiple regions as an industry partner - all through our Race Academy platform.
And so far the results speak for themselves:
-
115 school teams with 2,420 students engaged weekly in our first 18 months.
-
372,680 hours of hands-on STEM learning delivered and counting.
-
93% year-on-year growth. Schools don’t just try it. They expand it.
-
£7.4 million in social value generated so far.

STORIES
STEM On Track isn't a one-off experiment that ends up in the bin by Friday.
It’s a year-long engineering project that scales. Whether you’re a single School, a Multi-Academy Trust, or a Corporate Partner, we’ve removed the usual "STEM headache" of recycling tired ideas or starting from scratch.
Because our model is plug and play, it’s built for growth. You can easily add more teams to a single school, roll it out across an entire Trust, or deliver it across multiple regions as an industry partner - all through our Race Academy platform.
