Empowering the Next Generation: Dornan’s Commitment to Youth and STEM Education through Formula 1 Sponsorship
At Dornan, we believe in supporting the next generation of innovators. Our recent sponsorship of Revolution Racing, an all-female Formula 1 team from Gaelcholáiste Chéitinn in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, demonstrates our dedication to encouraging youth involvement in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). This partnership not only supports young women in their pursuit of STEM careers but also aligns with our mission to promote diversity and inclusion in these critical fields.
Revolution Racing
Revolution Racing is composed of passionate and dedicated students who have set their sights on winning the Irish National Final and qualifying for the World Championship 2025. Their journey in the F1 in Schools competition is about more than just racing miniature F1 cars; it’s about breaking barriers and empowering young women to dream big and achieve greatness in STEM fields.
About F1 in Schools
F1 in Schools is an international STEM competition that challenges teams of 3-6 students to design, manufacture, and race miniature Formula 1 cars. This competition not only tests their technical skills but also encourages them to build relationships with entrepreneurs and businesses, providing a holistic learning experience that integrates both engineering and business acumen.
Recent Achievements
Revolution Racing has recently celebrated a significant milestone. The team achieved an outstanding 3rd place finish at the F1 in Schools Ireland National Finals for the 2023/2024 season. Competing against over 164 students from 31 schools, the team demonstrated remarkable skill, determination, and teamwork. This impressive result has qualified them for the Aramco World Finals 2025. Additionally, the team won awards for Best Portfolios and Best Project Management, highlighting their exceptional organizational and presentation skills.
Supporting Youth in STEM
Dornan’s sponsorship of Revolution Racing is part of our broader initiative to support youth in STEM. By investing in programmes and competitions like F1 in Schools, we are helping to create opportunities for young people to explore and excel in STEM fields. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of engineers, and innovators who will drive future technological advancements.
