Aston Martin Aramco and Fernando Alonso inspire the next generation of racers with STEM-inspired event in Spain

Aston Martin Formula One® Team & Aramco hosted a series of workshops for Spanish students in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in Fernando Alonso’s hometown of Oviedo, Asturias, at the Museo y Circuito Fernando Alonso.
The event in Oviedo marks the third of its kind this year, following karting events previously held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Shanghai, China.
Over 30 Spanish students were in attendance for workshops and karting at Fernando’s eponymous-named venue.

On June 19, 2024, The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team hosted a series of STEM-inspired workshops and karting, together with local hero Fernando Alonso, for over 30 students from across Spain.

Held at the Museo y Circuito Fernando Alonso, in conjunction with the two-time Formula One world champion, the aim was to provide students with inspiration and insight from motorsport and STEM-focused activities. This event follows similar karting programs previously hosted in Riyadh and Shanghai, by the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team and its title partner, Aramco, earlier this year.

““It’s always special to speak with younger generations and see their passion for motor racing. Motorsports has grown in popularity over the years in Spain and we hope to see more Spanish talent making it into the highest level of racing. Aramco is extremely passionate about this topic and it’s great to see such a fantastic program to help these students across many of the STEM disciplines. It was very special to host this event in my hometown and museum. Events like this one today help to engage those battling to make it through the ranks in their chosen disciplines, and raise the interest levels for racing, which leaves a lasting mark in the region and country.””
