The STEM Racing
Challenge
An international competition model that fuses high-performance Formula One motorsport with hands-on STEM engineering. Design, build, and race miniature cars using the same 3D CAD modeling, aerodynamic analysis, and CFD simulation tools that professional F1 teams use.
National Competition
Half-day event includes morning check-in, car inspection, time-trials, and afternoon knockout rounds with awarding ceremony.
International Finals
Top teams from Cambodia qualify for international finals, competing against 60+ countries in the global STEM RACING network.
