A new programme is helping pupils progress towards their dream jobs, say students in Jersey.
Chlodie, 17, and Lucy, 15, from Hautlieu School have been on the STEM On Track programme which taught students to build a go-kart before they learnt to ride and race in it.
They were selected from the course to go to the UK where they earned their racing licences.
It is part of work to get more girls studying subjects like science, technology, engineering and maths which are traditionally dominated by male students.
Chlodie and Lucy are both fans of Formula 1 and the course involved them training with the Alpine FI Team in the UK.
Chlodie said: "It's been really exciting because every week we've been able to see more and more, progress with our go-kart as it's been built and then going to the UK for the racing was really fun.
"So I'm a big fan of F1 and this is a really good gateway into that."
Lucy added: "I think a lot more people are going to try to do it as my friends have seen me doing it and really enjoying it plus I'm a big Formula 1 fan so this is very exciting for me."
The STEM On Track works with Alpine F1 Team to help train students and teach them about engineering and racing.
Hautlieu physics teacher Carl Bowen-Price, who worked to bring the project to the school, said "I was very focused on bringing exam success" but wanted "to focus on delivering opportunities Jersey students don't normally get".
Mr Bowen-Price added: "I want to work closely with the government and I'm hoping to have some talks soon to get this spread across all schools."
The school will be able to continue with the project for the next three years after it secured funding from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
