2026 Japanese Grand Prix

Pre-Race Trivia & Live Watch Party w/ SparkshoP

Join us at the Haymarket Brewery on March 28th for Formula 1 Trivia ahead of the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix. Test your knowledge of the people, places, scandals, and technology that make F1 the most innovative form of motorsport.

This is your chance to compete for a cause, because 100% of ticket proceeds support STEM programs in Chicago elementary schools! SparkShop is hard at work in 44 schools across Chicago, helping young students build the skills and confidence to become future engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs (and mechanics and aerodynamicists and materials scientists!)

Don't miss this opportunity to blend your love of F1 with creating an impact on youth in our city!

Through exciting engineering challenges, kids build confidence, ignite curiosity, and develop problem-solving skills. Thanks to events like this (and grants and donors), our programs are 100% free to schools, allowing us to make STEM accessible for over 2,800 kids this school year.

Why is SparkShop hosting an F1 party?

Engineers power F1! Our favorite sport's era-defining breakthroughs are made possible by STEM innovations. (And we're as eager as you are to see which team's engineers come out ahead with the new regulations!)
