F1 in Schools Founder and Chairman visits Thailand >> from L1
F1 in Schools does all of that because of the nature of the programme. We deliver science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the classroom in a fun and exciting way. “We are running in 44 countries around the world and have succeeded in so many countries and improved the quality of the students that are leaving schools.” Plans are being made by Thararam for F1 in Schools to take off by locating some pilot schools and to get the initiative launched by 2017. Among the plans is ultimately to get the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education to disseminate the programme across the whole of Thailand’s national school network. The next F1 in Schools World Finals, where the best teams from around the globe compete for the Bernie Ecclestone World Champions trophy, will be held in Austin, Texas on October 16-19, 2016. “I look forward to welcoming one or two Thai teams at the next World Finals event in 2017,” concludes Denford.
