STEM Outreach

Beyond the Track

Our community impact extends well beyond competition. Phantom Racing runs an active STEM outreach program throughout the academic year, giving sponsors visible association with grassroots engineering education and talent development.

🏫

Formula 1 Club

Team members at Redmond High School have established a club to hold meetings with hands-on engineering demonstrations, vehicle walkthroughs, and show Formula 1 highlights to build early STEM and Formula 1 interest.
15+ active members
🧑‍🔧

Students Reached

Our outreach programming reaches over 100 K-12 students across in-person visits, virtual sessions, and sponsored STEM challenge events.
100+ students
