Formula E expanding online education program

PIF and Formula E are expanding their Driving Force educational program into the online space after a successful first year for the project. 
Launched during last season's Miami E-Prix, Driving Force provides young people with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and sustainability educational programs within motorsport. So far it has reached 111,20 people through teacher-led content and live workshops in the U.S., UK and Saudi Arabia. 

“We are thrilled to launch the next iteration of the Formula E Driving Force Presented by PIF,” said Julia Palle, VP for sustainability at Formula E. “By centering our new content on the cutting-edge GEN4 car, we are bridging the gap between elite motorsport and the classroom. Our mission remains clear: to ignite a global passion for STEM through high-octane, gamified learning that prepares the next generation for the future of innovation.”

Now it will expand online, offering a single, unified digital platform for young people, parents, and educators which will be tailored to each of those three audiences. The online platform will include interactive challenges, quizzes, games and rewards, while for educators they will have access to ready-to-use classroom resources, lesson plans, and other activities to further STEM education.

“The expansion of the program is a significant milestone for PIF as we reinforce our commitment to the growth of electric motorsport, further strengthened by our partnership with Formula E,” said Mohamed AlSayyad, head of corporate brand at PIF. “Through this powerful, unified program, we will continue to broaden access to STEM and sustainability learning, while accelerating the future of electric mobility in Saudi Arabia and across the globe.”
