I am interested in engineering, especially the mechanical, automotive and aerospace sector. I enjoy designing things and finding solutions to problems with other designs. I am also In the process of designing a 4 stroke engine on solid works in my engineering class. Other hobbies include drawing, going to the gym and website design

"Studying A Level engineering has increased my interest in an Engineering career. My engineering principles unit, where we studied mechanical problems such as fluid systems and loaded components along with physics topics such as static and direct current problems, electronics and magnetism, has stirred my passion for the mathematical side of engineering. From this, I researched Shaikh Sir's Diploma Classes Mechanical Problems, and watched YouTube videos about physics lectures like OpenStax and Engineer’s Academy to gain a better understanding of alternatives to solving engineering equations. 

One hobby is Rubix Cubes. The complexity of such a small toy with the multiple algorithms to solve it intrigues me and has helped me be more intuitive with my decision making as well as increased my reaction time. I have access to Computer Aided Design software, Solidworks - consequently, using this opportunity to my advantage to develop my own functional cube as a personal project. This increased my skills with CAD to create complex ball bearing designs.

I was invited to an Engineering Conference at Magdalen College School where universities such as Oxford, Imperial and Cambridge spoke about their experience on the engineering course, including a a speaker on what it is like working in F1, and another who developed a machine which allows organs to live outside the body for up to 24 hours.  This conference further inspired to become an engineer as it allowed me to understand the impacts engineers have on the world around us and impact on many lives.

I take Physics, Maths and Engineering at A level and hoping to do Mechanical Engineering at university. I work at Mcdonald’s around 3 times a week on the side of school. I also go to the gym whenever i have any free time. I believe that it is good to have a good work-life balance so i try balance all these three things. Within school life itself i am deputy head student at Ashlawn school, volunteering to help young students and staying after school to help with events held by the school. At work i volunteer to stay later if needed and pick up shifts and always treat customers how i would like to be treated.

I am currently an second year A-level student studying Maths, Chemistry and Biology, in order to pursue a career in motorsport engineering.

I am 17 years old currently working at Formula Fast indoor karting as a race marshal, part time while doing A level Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, while taking on an EPQ project with an F1 focus. I have always been interested in the automotive industry as a whole but especially motorsports. I aspire to become an engineer for an F1 team and even be on the pit crew one day! 

Hi, my name is Dean Thurston. I am half Filipino-half Yugoslavian born and raised in England. In my GCSE exams, I received a level 2 distinction and level 2 distinction* in Engineering manufacture and design. I have also received a grade 8 in maths & grade 9/8 in science. 

I currently studying A-level engineering, maths & physics with aspirations of a career in the automotive/motorsport engineering industry. 

Ever since I was young, I have had a fascination with cars and motorsport. I am a huge fan of F1 who loves to learn about the technology and innovations involved in making each car. For example, I enjoy watching technical videos about the unique aerodynamic interpretations that teams have made to maximise downforce and efficiency, each with their own strengths and weaknesses at different tracks. I also enjoy the thrill of competition as I competed in go-karting as a hobby from the age of 7 and currently race a 140cc motorbike too. 

My Dad is a design engineer and I have learned lots about engineering from him when working on motorbikes and helping in his business. I have had 1 week work experience with Audi in July with another 2 weeks booked in August for Eclipse Energy to learn more about working in the electrical engineering industry. I have strong aspirations to have a STEM career, with my dream to be a part of Formula 1 as I see it as the pinnacle of motorsport and automotive engineering.

Hello, my name is Kirshan. I am a Year 13 student who is currently studying Mathematics , Physics , Design Engineering and also doing an EPQ. My EPQ is based around the aerodynamics of upcoming and newly designed EV cars. As you be able to see, i am very much interested in the automotive industry. Due to my beloved interest in the motion and functionality of vehicles, i am also immensely interested in watching F1. When looking at my achievements, one of my achievements which i am most proud of is learning fluently my own language (Tamil). I have learnt my own language by going to extra weekend school to learn Tamil and currently i am studying in a Year 12 class. i have always liked pushing myself, for the reason why i was able to fluently learn another language. With my achievements, i also like focusing my life on hobbies. Some of my hobbies consist of Swimming, as i feel like it is a relaxing and also a fast paced activity. I was able to swim from a young age as i was taught by my dad to swim.

"My name is Nicole Chigbu, and I have been working towards becoming an Engineer during Sixth  Form, I study Maths, Physics, Product Design and English Language and Literature.

From creating with clay, building sand bridges, stick houses, doll houses, playing with building blocks to now developing my own product in Product Design, I have always been building. Outside of school, I have been playing the piano for 13 years. In terms of sports I have a been training in Taekwondo and have recently been working towards a red belt. In my free time I like to love to read and watch and listen to any content I can get my hands on, I love to widen my viewpoint on both the most relevant topics like my Igbo heritage, relativity or more recently hobbies that are a bit more random  like flower pressing. 

Since the start of Year 12, I have taken on more responsibility and have been teaching swimming to young children at the pool next to my school. Now, going into Year 13 I am anxious about the responsibility that is my future and all these decisions that I have to make that will impact it."

I enjoy building projects such as robotic cars and model engines. I am an avid reader and enjoy playing basketball, studying and learning new things. I am good at problem-solving and my favourite subjects are Maths and Engineering. I am a prefect and a peer mentor at school. As a result, I use my position to help support fellow students who struggle to manage school life. It makes me happy to know that I have both the ability and opportunity to make a difference, particularly for those who are at risk of feeling excluded. I am also part of the neurodiverse community at school and have campaigned successfully to bring about accessibility-friendly policy and practice changes at my school. An achievement that I am most proud of is learning to manage some difficult social situations due to being autistic and a person of colour. The challenges that I have overcome have been reliant on my being tenacious and determined to be successful even when others have made it more difficult to do so. It has been a hard-won but worthy personal achievement to develop my self-confidence and perseverance.

I’m Jonathan, a student with a passion for F1. My journey has been shaped by a deep curiosity for the sport built from watching it with my family when I was younger. I’ve dreamed of working with cars since I was younger and still currently working toward that goal. I’m a hardworking student who loves and really enjoys working in a team. I’m a great team player who also does not mind taking the lead if required. 

In my free time, I enjoy playing football. I currently play for Mk Athletic a local team in Milton Keynes. I have been playing football for 7 years now and it has really helped me develop my team working as a whole team of separate ideas have to come together in order to get the best result they possibly can. I also have a part-time job at footasylum. During my time there my communication skills have also improved. All these skills that I have gained have helped me become the person I am today.

I’ve had some experience working with vehicles as in July I had a work experience placement at S&P Autos a mechanic shop in Bletchley. During this time I was mainly watching but on occasion given the opportunity to have a hands-on experience as I was helping out with some parts of servicing a car or even removing tires. I really enjoyed the experience and it’s solidified my dream of working with vehicles hopefully in Formula 1.

To describe myself concisely, I am a motivated learner. In fact, Im currently studying four subjects at A-Level. Of those subjects, I study Maths, Biology, Computer Science and EPQ. The reason for this, I intend on studying a STEM related subject at a high level of education. Alongside this, I plan on developing a greater understanding of STEM related jobs through work experience, internships and networking in general. In terms of my hobbies I do coding, graphic design, editing and exercise. As well as this, I have a part-time job as a sales associate for Ralph Lauren. Despite the fact this job isn’t related to the field I would like to work in, I still feel as if though it has provided me with transferable skills such as problem solving, communication, team-building and strategic planning.

"My name is Olajide Mabogunje, and I currently study A-level Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at The Radcliffe School, Wolverton. I aim to study engineering at the degree level, as I am a mathematical person with a keen interest in the sciences. Outside my educational life, I am interested in coding and website development, and I possess beginner-level HTML, CSS, JS and Python skills. I enjoy swimming, reading (murder mysteries), anime, drawing animated characters, and gaming. 

My education journey has been unorthodox. I spent six years from 2016 in Nigerian secondary education, where I accomplished numerous things, including being a semi-finalist in Child Genius, Nigeria, reaching the top 100 in the third round qualifiers of the South African Mathematics Olympiad, being Valedictorian of the graduating class of 2022, Caleb International College, Lagos, Nigeria. I also had several leadership positions, such as Assistant Head-Boy in Senior Secondary School and an Ambassador in Junior Secondary School. I spent my free time in clubs such as STEM, media, literary clubs, etc. 

I earned my WASSCE (GCSE equivalent), which allowed me to pursue a four-year bachelor's degree at the university. I got accepted into Nigeria's number one Private university( Covenant University) but decided to move with my family to the United Kingdom. I relocated for two reasons, to allow myself to mature, as I was sixteen when I finished, and to explore the plethora of opportunities available abroad. Now I hope to complete my A-levels and go to university as the best version of myself."

I enjoy playing rugby and frequenting the gym to maintain an active lifestyle. Additionally, I have a keen interest in ethical hacking. With experience in website development using HTML, CSS, Python, and JavaScript, I've explored the intricacies of cybersecurity.
