The event was for students, who are currently enrolled in the F1 in Schools program, which is dedicated to introducing students to design, engineering, project management, branding, marketing, and teamwork using the excitement and appeal of Formula 1®. Students also got a chance to meet, speak with and race cars (that they built in a workshop), with William T. Ribbs Jr.,* the first African-American man to have tested a Formula One car and to compete in the Indianapolis 500.
F1 in Schools is one of the largest global educational programs that raise awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among students and school children.
The event took place at the City of Miami Gardens’ Bunche Park Alternative Sports and Fitness Center and was administered through Seeking Education Empowers Knowledge (S.E.E.K). All S.E.E.K. staff were given two (2) tickets to see Maluma at Hard Rock Stadium as well.
The first ever F1 Miami Grand Prix will be held on May 6-8, 2022.

* William T. Ribbs Jr., ran three cup races in 1986. In 2001, Ribbs joined the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with the support of the Dodge Corporation, which initiated a motorsports diversity program to provide opportunities for minorities to race. This made Ribbs the first African American in the modern era to compete full time in a major NASCAR division. He finished sixteenth in the point standings.
