In summary, the Formula Student Bizkaia project proposes one challenge to all the engineering students who belong to the project: the design and construction of a Formula single seater, to compete on international Formula Student events.
With the motivation of this challenge and the innovative methodology of the project, the team members work the hard skills (technical aspects) and the soft skills (communication, leadership, collaboration...), while they work in another aspects, as the sustainability, the gender equality, and the promotion of STEAM vocations.

Driving Bilbao
Science week
EIB openhouse days
Event in which the single-seater circulates through the main streets of Bilbao to promote and give visibility to the project.
Bizkaia Aretoa hosts over sixty-five activities, including science corners, workshops, exhibitions, a photo contest, conferences, and a science show.
A perfect opportunity to showcase the work of our engineers to the students of the Bilbao School of Engineering.
Promotion of STEAM Vocations
The project has a strong presence in all the events promoting STEAM vocations in our environment, both those promoted by the UPV/EHU and the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao, and public institutions and private entities. So every year we take part in events as the Science Week, the EIB/BIE Openhouse days, the Zientzia Azoka, Naukas Kids, and also forums and activities promoted by the industries of our zone.
With more than 10 years of experience, in 2020 Innobasque and the Basque Goverment have recognized our work, awarding the stamp of the STEAM initiative.
