On Thursday 8th February, we celebrated the 107 students in our third cohort at the Mulberry STEM Academy, who successfully completed and graduated from the year-long extra-curricular programme.

The students gathered at Mulberry UTC in east London with their friends and families, to celebrate all their achievements and personal growth.

Video messages from the Mercedes F1 Team Principal Toto Wolff and Sir Lewis Hamilton were played during the ceremony, which was attended in person by other special guests from the F1 Team: Chief Technical Officer James Allison, Chief People Officer Paul Mills, and Hiran Odedra, Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

James Allison said:

“It’s completely impossible to watch today’s ceremony and not be inspired by these bright, young adults brimming with ability and enthusiasm for the STEM programme that they’ve just completed”.

The graduation of our third cohort means we have developed a pipeline of 200 talented students pursuing STEM destinations into university and engineering.
