The UniTS Racing Team, the University of Trieste's Formula SAE team, has renewed its collaboration with the ‘Burlo Garofolo’ research hospital for the second year running, creating a fun, educational event designed for children either in or being treated at the paediatric hospital.

The aim of the initiative is to bring children closer to the world of technology, engineering and motor racing through engaging and interactive activities. At the heart of the event there will be a section with game stations, where children can try their hand at various activities of varying levels of difficulty, all intended as preparation for the final challenge: a real race on a driving simulator.

Making the experience even more meaningful was the children's contribution to the creation of the event's official poster. Armed with colours and imagination, they captured the world of racing on paper while bringing a dash of authenticity and joy to the project.

The event represented a valuable opportunity to unite passion, technical expertise and social concern, underlining the value of collaboration between universities, health institutions and the community.

The initiative will be repeated in Udine, on 24th May, on the occasion of World Gaming Day. 

Through these initiatives, the UniTS Racing Team wants to open itself up more and more to the region, bringing its passion for technology and competition beyond university contexts. A way to raise awareness and make Formula SAE and the value of collaboration between young people, academic institutions and the community known to all.
