ENGINEERS OF THE FUTURE
Yas Marina Circuit, in collaboration with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) , bring you Yas in Schools, a youth-focused initiative that offers schools a pathway for project-based STEM learning programmes. Students, aged eight to 21 years old, learn essential skills across science, technology, engineering and mathematics in a fun and unique environment. Working together in small enterprising teams, students design, innovate, manufacture, test and race small-scale model cars to compete in school and external competitions. Yas in Schools aims to inspire and develop “The Engineers of the Future”, equipping them with 21st Century skills and developing their passion for STEM subjects, while also providing teachers with exciting and easy-to-adopt themed programmes and resources for delivering a broad range of learning outcomes.
We have enhanced all of our activities at the circuit to operate under a number of government agreed principles to keep you safe. Please click here for all details.
