Welcome to
THE LARGEST EDUCATION INITIATIVE WORLDWIDE
Our mission
Little Scientists is a non profit organisation based in Canton Zurich which acts as the in-country coordinator for Switzerland for all aspects of this worldwide, non-profit STEM project. Little Scientists aims to provide the exciting F1® in Schools STEM challenge and education experience to students throughout Switzerland. Working with partners and supporters, we want to give the next generation of scientists and engineers a platform to experience the fascinating world of STEM through Formula 1 and we want to make this project available to all the students regardless of their socioeconomic background, race, or gender.
We see the F1® in Schools challenge as a fun learning environment where students can gain skills, make connections, and develop an informed view about careers in engineering, Formula 1, science, marketing, project management, and technology.
