Beyond the racetrack, the partnership also brings together two organisations committed to inspiring the next generation to engage in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers – vital to driving innovation in both Formula 1 and HPC. As part of a growing outreach program, NMC² is hosting a workshop at HackTX 2025, a 36-hour hackathon event to be held over the Grand Prix weekend at University of Texas, Austin.
