“STEM Racing Ireland gives so much insight into how Formula 1 engineers operate and how it is actually done in industry rather than just learning about it in the classroom. It has also helped develop my interpersonal, management and engineering skills, whilst also helping my academic performance in many subjects. I wouldn’t be the who I am today without STEM Racing and the life-changing experience its given me.”
