- Veloce Racing driver goes ‘back to school’ to inspire the next generation
- 22-year-old discusses topics including education, sustainability and gender equality
- Virtual visit to mark United Nations’ International Day of Education
- Zoom class comes at an unprecedented time for educational norms
In celebration of the third annual United Nations International Day of Education, Veloce Racing Extreme E driver Jamie Chadwick went ‘back to school’ today (25 January) to talk to students at Harris Academy Battersea. Chadwick engaged with the students at length around her career and the new challenge she faces in the pioneering all-electric off-road series.
As a consequence of COVID-19, 1.5 billion young people have been impacted by school closures across 184 countries globally. In the UK, this has led to the vast majority of students currently being home-schooled. Now, more than ever, educational establishments are looking for exciting and inspirational activities to ensure children and teenagers remain focussed and engaged in their lessons.
With support from Girls on Track UK – a Motorsport UK initiative supporting the participation of women in motorsport – 22-year-old Williams F1 Development driver Chadwick was able to engage with over 300 Harris Academy Battersea students for a truly unique educational experience via video call.
As the inaugural W Series Champion and one of nine female drivers in Extreme E, Jamie was perfectly-placed to discuss topical subjects such as careers, gender equality, sustainability and climate change with students, prompting a great deal of enthusiastic discussion.
Jamie Chadwick, Driver, Veloce Racing, said:
“It was fun being able to talk to students who were so inquisitive about what I do and the series I race in. I really enjoyed answering their questions and I have to say a big ‘thank you’ to Girls on Track for helping to make this possible!
“I think it’s so important to inspire the next generation regarding some of the biggest subjects in today’s world like education, gender equality and climate change, especially during such difficult times for all of us. I hope it gets them all thinking about these issues and ways in which we can make a difference.”
Mr Carr, Vice Principal, Harris Academy Battersea, added:
“The students had a fantastic time hearing about Jamie’s experience, her passion for her sport and career and her insight into her exciting new challenge with Veloce Racing and Extreme E. She is clearly a rising star in the sport and a great role model for young people, and she was very knowledgeable and really grabbed their attention from the word ‘go’.
“I think I speak for everyone when I say we thoroughly enjoyed Jamie’s virtual visit today and would love to welcome her back when she is able to visit the school in person!”
Sue Sanders, Director of Learning and Development, Motorsport UK commented:
“Girls on Track UK is delighted to have been instrumental in Jamie’s virtual visit today at the Harris Academy. With an already impressive list of achievements to her name, as well as her role as a Girls on Track UK ambassador, Jamie is undoubtedly a brilliant and motivational role model for all young people.
“Jamie’s imminent debut racing for Veloce in Extreme E certainly made for enthusiastic and topical conversation with the pupils, particularly around equality and sustainability within motorsport, which was really inspiring to see.
“A huge thank you to Harris Academy, to Jamie and to Veloce for making this happen today – and we really look forward to a Girls on Track UK event in-person at the school just as soon as restrictions are lifted.”

The title also incorporates Wazdan’s customisable Volatility Levels
, allowing players to adjust the gameplay experience to suit their preferred risk and reward style. This flexibility ensures the slot can appeal to different player profiles across a variety of regulated markets.
By focusing on a single, recognisable feature, Magic Fruits Dice reflects Wazdan’s engagement-driven approach to game development, delivering a tailored player experience designed to perform consistently for operators.
Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said:

Big Adventures Campaign
Evoplay wraps up record-breaking Big Adventures campaign with Maldives grand prize
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has officially concluded its largest-ever network campaign, Big Adventures, with the grand prize winner revealed during a live draw held on March 12.
Running for nine months from June 2025 to February 2026, the promotion became one of Evoplay’s most ambitious engagement initiatives to date. The campaign featured a €2.5 million total prize pool, distributed more than 115,000 random prizes, and delivered 180 days of player activity across participating operator platforms.
Throughout the promotion, players competed in multiple tournament phases while unlocking additional rewards through interactive mechanics such as Prize Drops and Wheel of Fortune events.
Although thousands of prizes were awarded during the campaign, the highlight came with the announcement of the Grand Mega Prize: a VIP trip to the Maldives for two, including flights, premium accommodation, and a curated island experience organised by Evoplay.
The winner was selected through a live random draw among the Top 100 players on the final leaderboard, recognising those who performed best throughout the tournament stages.
The recording of the draw is available here: https://youtube.com/live/mpPQB0MSyZM
In addition to the main prizes, Big Adventures also rewarded loyal players through quarterly giveaways, where top participants received the latest iPhone Pro Max devices.
Beyond player engagement, the campaign was also designed to deliver strong value for operators. Built-in gamification tools — including leaderboard APIs, promotional assets, and integrated campaign widgets — allowed operators to promote the event seamlessly across their platforms.
Following the success of Big Adventures, Evoplay has already launched its next large-scale campaign, Four Seasons of Legends, beginning with the Spring edition. The new initiative offers operators another opportunity to participate in a network-wide promotion aimed at boosting player engagement and retention.
Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said:
“Big Adventures has been a landmark campaign for Evoplay and our operator partners. Over the past nine months we’ve seen incredible engagement from players around the world, with thousands of prizes won and strong participation across every phase of the campaign.
“The live finale was the perfect way to close the campaign and celebrate the community that took part, and we’re already looking ahead to the next major campaign, which will give operators even more opportunities to engage their players.”

Million Games Launches Piggy Rush with RushReel and Cash Collect Mechanics
Million Games has unveiled Piggy Rush, a new feature-packed 5×3 video slot that blends classic fruit-themed visuals with modern gameplay mechanics and fixed jackpot opportunities.
Created by Yugo Workshop, part of the Million Stars partner studio programme, Piggy Rush marks the eighth collaboration between the two companies.

-
Mega – 1000x base bet
-
Major – 200x base bet
-
Mini – 50x base bet
With medium volatility and a maximum payout of up to 5,000x the bet, Piggy Rush is designed to appeal to a broad audience while still offering strong win potential.
