Atlassian Williams F1 Team will take its STEM education programme global, with new North America camps planned from 2027 and hands-on learning experiences added to its Fan Zones from this week’s Miami Grand Prix.

The team has hosted more than 25,000 students aged 8 to 16 at Grove over the past 3 years, using free Formula 1 themed education days to encourage interest in science, technology, engineering and maths.

Williams said the next phase will allow tens of thousands more fans to experience the engineering side of Formula 1 through its Fan Zones, starting in Miami before events in Barcelona, London, Madrid, Singapore, Austin and Las Vegas later this year.

The North America camps will begin next year across selected 2027 race weekends, with weekend-long day camps first and week-long summer camps planned after that.

Williams said campers will take part in simulator sessions, hands-on F1 engineering challenges, and receive guidance from motorsport experts as part of what the team described as a first of its kind motorsport camp concept.

The move builds on Williams’ wider education and talent pipeline, which includes its Driver Academy, Early Careers programmes, and the Williams-Komatsu Engineering Academy. The team said Early Careers staff now make up 12% of its workforce.

Katherine Solomon, Head of Education at Atlassian Williams F1 Team, said: “Investing in the next generation of engineering, science and technology talent is central to building a team that can win again. The students who come through our programmes don’t just learn about engineering, they believe they can work in it. Expanding that opportunity through North American camps and into our Fan Zones is something we're incredibly proud of, and we look forward to inspiring thousands more young people around the world.”

Williams said 87% of students who attended its STEM Experience were more likely to consider STEM subjects or careers afterwards, underlining the programme’s role in connecting Formula 1 with future engineering talent.
