STEM Racing to continue educational partnership with CERATIZIT into 2026 with plans to expand their reach

STEM Racing has announced it has renewed its partnership with CERATIZIT UK & Ireland, continuing their work together until 2026.

STEM Racing and CERATIZIT plan to expand their reach and offer more students a chance to engage with hands-on engineering experiences.

The two organizations have been working together since 2024, aiming to tackle the UK’s engineering skills gap with a focus on the STEM Racing competition. 

Tom Milner, Project Director at STEM Racing UK, comments: “It has been a fantastic 12 months working with the team at CERATIZIT, and we’re delighted to build on the strong foundations we’ve established. Together, we are giving young people the exposure, skills, and passion to see engineering as an exciting career path. 

“The ‘E’ in STEM is often underrepresented in the curriculum, but this partnership is changing that by offering hundreds of students across the UK practical experience and a clear understanding of engineering’s real-world applications. That is vital if we want to close the UK’s engineering skills gap.”

Dan Atkinson, from CERATIZIT UK & Ireland Ltd, adds: “At CERATIZIT, we are immensely proud to announce our ongoing strategic partnership with STEM Racing UK, supporting their mission to ignite a passion in engineering through the thrilling world of Formula 1.

“As a global leader in cutting tools, CERATIZIT recognises the critical importance of nurturing the next generation of engineers. STEM Racing UK's internationally acclaimed program perfectly aligns with our commitment to advancing engineering education and sustainability. This partnership reflects our core values of innovation, precision, and developing the next generation of engineers.

“Through this collaboration, we're not just supporting a competition; we're investing in the future workforce that will drive the sustainable technological breakthroughs of tomorrow.”
