On Friday 20th June 2025, some Swanbourne pupils had the incredible opportunity to take part in an amazing workshop delivered by the STEMx Team at Oracle Red Bull Racing and MK College.

This wonderful opportunity was free of charge for our pupils, thanks to the Friends of the Three Schools. The Race Day Experience began with an introduction to F1 and the history of Red Bull Racing. Pupils then took part in a range of activities including;

• Pit Stop Challenge – Pupils completed a specially designed engineering activity that had been created by real life Red Bull Engineers. Seeing if they have the skills to join the team.

• STEM Racing – Pupils built and raced their own cars using the specially designed track. The top 3 champions were crowned on the STEMx podium at the end of the experience.

• Media – Pupils took part in an interview filming and studio experience, filming their classmates as they took part in a post-race interview and navigated the journalists’ questions.

• Gaming – Pupils trained like an F1 driver and tested their reaction times using the same technology as the race team. They also had access to F1 Drive, where they raced against their peers to set the fastest lap times.

• Design Challenge – Pupils submitted a design for Red Bull car livery or a special helmet for the team.

• A STEM Careers talk was also delivered to students so they could learn about all the career opportunities that are available.

Year 6 had a wonderful day working with Rosie and Sarah from the Red Bull STEM X team and discovered so much about careers in F1 and the Red Bull site based in Milton Keynes.
