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.
