'When will I ever use this in real-life?' Espire's workshops answer this with hands-on motorsport engineering.
Secondary
Espire exists to bring STEM learning to life. Using real-world automotive engineering and motorsport principles to provide students with an answer to the question: 'When will I ever use this in real life?'
The practical, in-school spanner-in-hand sessions operate alongside an optional gamified online academy, all components are designed to directly support the mainstream Maths & Science national curriculum.
The Espire Experience Day workshops give students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of STEM concepts as they explore the world of motorsport. The hands-on approach to learning allows students to dive into the mechanics of motorsports, and gain valuable skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. The expert instructors are passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and racers.
The pre and post Online Race Academy Modules allow students to become young engineers, experiencing the world of Engineering and Motorsport, making their classroom studies relevant. These have proven to boost academic success by an average of 35%.
