Our MISSION is to put young girls in the driver’s seat of their future STEM career – in design, engineering, fabrication, business – related to the transportation industries on land, sea and air.
Our VISION is to see a girl in every level of business who helps to drive transportation and humankind forward.
Athena Racing is the bridge between childhood and adulthood for those girls who want a professional path.

100% REAL LIFE
S.T.E.M. TRAINING
“Athena Racing opened my eyes as to how many STEM jobs are available for women,” is a comment you will hear our Athenians (members) say often.
Our STEM education club for girls in middle school and high school has a transportation theme yet prepares our members for a professional career track in the specialties of invention, design, engineering, fabrication and business.
Whether they want to be a designer, lawyer, engineer, doctor, or entrepreneur, the career paths for girls are limitless. They just haven’t been exposed to the possibilities….yet.
As an extra-curricular club, inclusion in this program benefits girls pursuing STEM careers in any industry by giving them real-life experience, allowing them to better understand and innovate for the future. Our 15 Education Tracks provide the essential life skills and career development needed to succeed.
We are creating a safe space for young girls to try new things – a solution-based THINK TANK for Teenage Girls – to expand their knowledge, and be themselves.
We are RACING to build a better future. After all, how do you know if you are on the right career track until you get your hands dirty?

Athena Racing is VIRTUAL and provides a club, spring intensives, summer camp & a private social network for female students in middle & high school focused on 14 Education Tracks to expand essentials skills.

SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT
DAVE MAREK
CAMP: FABcamp
TOPIC: Livery Design
Imagine working alongside one of the most iconic automotive leaders of our time, Mr. Honda himself! Dave Marek has been on the team with Honda since 1987 and regularly jets between Japan and LA developing the designs that you see on the road and track. He led our team of Athenians in creating livery designs for the Chip Ganassi Racing car #48 driven by Jimmie Johnson and sponsored by Carvana (you will see how they adapt our designs on September 4th at the INDYCAR race in Portland).
Mr. Marek will lead our camp in designing the livery for our driving sim. The design that you will get to see at the final reveal of our FABcamp build on July 27th!
Having Mr. Marek as an instructor in livery design is like having Beethoven teach you how to play the piano! For the young girls, Athenians, who love art… this is a FABcamp that you DO NOT want to miss!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
AKSHAYA
MEMBER SINCE 2020
CAREER PURSUIT: Medical
As the Student Advisory Board Vice President, Akshaya has been involved since the beginning with advancing Athena Racing. This spring she participated in the Sponsorship Intensive working alongside our CEO to create the materials we use when approaching corporations for partnerships. She is learning the business of connecting our mission with company’s needs for talent development while increasing their diversity, equity and inclusion for Women in STEM, or, in our case, #GirlsinSTEM.
She is leading the FABcamp build of turning a BMW 318 into a driving simulator – the highlight segment of our STEM summer camp. You will see Simmie at events later this year, including the INDYCAR race in Portland.
Our DRIVE Scholars are bringing the gamification of transportation to life with our esports racing sim training series. Our team is showcasing the future as we provide training to all genders and ages with our new DRIVE training series.
