StemX

What StemX does

STEMx, operating under the brand 'STEMx by Oracle Red Bull Racing,' is an educational workshop program — not an independent technology company — delivered by Milton Keynes College, a UK further education institution, under a brand partnership with the Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team. The program delivers on-site, facilitator-led STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) workshops to UK schools and educational institutions, using motorsport as an engagement hook to make STEM learning relatable to students. Workshops are booked through an online platform, with pricing quoted per engagement based on student count, age group, content, and number of facilitators; balances are due 28 days before delivery, with 50% cancellation fees inside that window.

The program generates revenue through per-workshop professional services fees paid by schools, with no disclosed subscription, licensing, or technology component. Milton Keynes College serves as the legal operator and data controller (ICO registration ZA206718), handling safeguarding, insurance, and operational logistics. As of 2025 the program has announced a strategic operational pause, halting new bookings to focus on expanding and developing its future offering. Note: the input firmographics describe STEMX as a 'collaborative video interviewing platform,' but this conflicts with all first-party evidence (website copy, terms and conditions, privacy policy, partnership disclosures), which consistently describe an in-person STEM workshop program; the firmographic short_description appears to be a data error and has been disregarded in favor of primary sources.

A single funding round of approximately $454,203 was recorded in September 2016 (investors undisclosed), with no subsequent rounds. Leadership is listed as Dom Chapman (CEO). The program is geographically constrained to the UK (England) with international bookings explicitly not accepted. No AI capabilities, proprietary technology stack, mobile app, or API are disclosed.
