Race Engineering summer camp: program for young people from 15 to 18 years old
Do you want to immerse yourself in the world of automotive engineering at one of the most prestigious academies in Europe? The Race Engineering Summer Camp at the Dallara Academy in Parma offers a unique experience for young people between 15 and 18 to explore the fascinating universe of motorsport engineering.
What makes this program special
Dallara Academy isn't just a school. It is home to one of the most respected companies in the motorsport world, responsible for building cars for Formula 1, IndyCar and other important categories. During two intensive weeks, you will have exclusive access to the laboratories, simulators, and knowledge of engineers who work with the most famous teams on the planet.
Just like others career programs for young people, this camp combines advanced theory with real practice. You don't just learn about aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics, you build and test a Formula 1 car at scale.
Structure of the academic program
The program is divided into three complementary modules that guarantee a complete experience:
Engineering and design fundamentals
Here you learn the basic principles that govern race car design. From aerodynamic concepts to the materials used in construction, each class connects theory with real application in the world of motorsport.
Technical skills and simulation
This module puts you in the position of a real engineer. Using the same professional simulators that F1 teams use, you experience how small adjustments can make huge differences in a car's performance.
Industry experience and inspiration
Visits to the Ferrari Museum and the Imola Racetrack complete your immersion in the world of Formula 1. You get an up-close look at the history and present of this fascinating sport.
Why choose this summer camp
While others exchange programs for teenagers focus mainly on the language, this program goes further. You develop real technical skills, work with cutting-edge technology, and anchor your passion for engineering in practical experiences.
Unique benefits include:
- Access to professional engineering laboratories
- Classes with Dallara engineers
- Construction of functional prototypes
- Recognized international certification
- Networking with young people who are passionate about technology
Experience beyond the classroom
The program is not limited to technical aspects. You live in the Camplus IT university residence, a safe and international environment that promotes independence and global friendships. Evening activities, cultural excursions, and leisure time balance the intensive study schedule perfectly.
The location in Parma offers even more advantages. This historic city in the Emilia-Romagna region is considered the heart of the Italian automotive industry, home not only to Dallara, but also to influences from the country's leading automakers.
Development of essential skills
Similar to what happens in mechanical engineering programs at European universities, this camp develops skills that go far beyond the classroom:
- Analytical thinking: Every engineering problem requires deep analysis and creativity
- teamwork: Complex projects require effective collaboration
- Technical communication: Present ideas clearly and precisely
- Problem solving: Finding innovative solutions within real limitations
Preparing for the future
This program works as a true bridge between high school and higher education. Young people who participate frequently discover or confirm their vocation for technical areas, arriving more prepared for important career choices and university education.
Just like others specialized career programs, this camp offers a real competitive advantage. Engineering universities value candidates with international practical experience, and companies in the automotive sector recognize the quality of the Dallara education.
International and multicultural environment
One of the great strengths of the program is the diversity of participants. Young people from different countries come together with a common passion for engineering and motorsport. This cultural mix enriches the experience, expands horizons, and creates connections that can last a lifetime.
English is the official language of the program, providing natural linguistic immersion while you focus on what really matters: learning high-level engineering.
Requirements and ideal profile
To participate, you need to:
- Be between 15 and 18 years old
- Demonstrate genuine interest in engineering or technology
- Have intermediate English
- To be attending high school
No specific prior knowledge in automotive engineering is required. The program was designed to receive young people with different levels of technical experience.
