What STEM Racing is

STEM Racing, formerly known as F1 in Schools, is one of the largest STEM competitions in the world, with teams from over fifty countries. Teams of students design, engineer, manufacture and race a miniature CO2-powered car.

At the same time they run the team as a small business: sponsorship, branding, marketing, finance and project management. The strongest teams progress from school level through Regional and National Finals to the World Finals.
