A STEM education initiative designed to bring the excitement of Motorsport into classrooms across the country. < Back Official Launch for GOAL! Motorsport Australia David Middlemast 23 Mar 2025 A STEM education initiative designed to bring the excitement of Motorsport into classrooms across the country. We are proud to officially launch Motorsport Australia GOAL!, a STEM education initiative designed to bring the excitement of motorsport into classrooms across the country. Developed in partnership with Motorsport Australia and the Mathematical Association of Victoria, GOAL! offers six interactive lesson plans that use motorsport to teach core STEM principles to students in Years 5-8. Since becoming available to schools in mid-2024, the program has already been adopted by 106 schools, with 165 teachers downloading the resources and engaging over 4,600 students nationwide. Motorsport Australia CEO Sunil Vohra said the launch of GOAL! represents a significant step in making motorsport more accessible to young Australians. “Motorsport Australia GOAL! is about more than just motorsport – it’s about inspiring the next generation of engineers, team strategists, and problem solvers,” Vohra said. “By bringing motorsport into the classroom, we’re providing students with hands-on learning experiences that make STEM education more engaging and relevant. “Motorsport offers meaningful career options, and Motorsport Australia GOAL! is an early step for STEM pathways into building the skills needed for roles in engineering, data analysis, aerodynamics, and race strategy.” The program features lessons such as ‘Chance of Victory’, where students learn about probability and team management by allocating a budget across a racing team, and ‘Protecting Eggbert’, which teaches safety principles as students design and test helmets after learning from real racing drivers like Bayley Hall, Porsche Carrera Cup driver. “The early response has been fantastic, with more than 4,600 students already engaging with Motorsport Australia GOAL! in classrooms across the country. Now that we’ve officially launched, we’re excited to reach even more schools and continue to show students that motorsport isn’t just about racing – it’s about science, strategy, and teamwork,” said Charlie Barlow, Development Manager, Motorsport Australia. “Motorsport Australia GOAL! aligns to the Australian and Victorian Curriculum, and the NSW Syllabus, ensuring teachers have an accessible and engaging resource that supports student learning and introduces them to the world of motorsport in a way they may not have experienced before. “We’re excited to see this program continue to grow and inspire the next generation of students across the country.” Importantly, the initiative is not designed to compete with other motorsport STEM programs, but rather to introduce students to motorsport-inspired learning before they potentially progress to initiatives like FIA Girls on Track. “At The Huddle, we’re passionate about using sport to create meaningful educational opportunities for young Australians. Our partnership with Motorsport Australia on GOAL! is a perfect example of how sport can be a powerful tool for learning, particularly in STEM,” said Cameron McLeod, CEO, The Huddle. “Motorsport Australia GOAL! has been designed to give students a fresh and engaging way to learn STEM through the world of motorsport. “Hands-on, real-world application helps students retain knowledge, and this program provides an exciting way to introduce key concepts like engineering, probability, and design in a way that resonates with young learners.” “GOAL! is a fantastic way to introduce students to the many different career paths in motorsport beyond just driving,” said Aiva Anagnostiadis , Professional Racing Driver, who attended the event as a guest speaker. “STEM plays such a huge role in racing, from aerodynamics to race strategy, and this program helps students see how those skills apply in the real world. “For those who want to take their learning even further, GOAL! can also be a stepping stone to programs like F1 in Schools, where students can put their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test in a competitive environment.” Also speaking at the launch event, 2024 Bathurst 1000 Winner Todd Hazelwood highlighted the program’s role in broadening participation in motorsport, particularly for young women. “Motorsport is so much more than just driving—it’s about science, technology, engineering, and teamwork. Programs like GOAL! help students see that they can have a future in motorsport, whether as a driver, engineer, or strategist,” Hazelwood said. With the official launch now underway, Motorsport Australia aims to expand the program to 500 schools across the country, ensuring even more students get the opportunity to engage with motorsport in a meaningful way.
