What is STEM Racing™?
STEM Racing™ (formerly F1 in Schools®) is a global educational program that challenges students to design, analyze, manufacture, test, and race miniature, compressed-air powered cars. With the continued support of Formula 1, the program engages students aged 9 to 19 in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through an exciting, hands-on competition. Since its inception in 1999, it has reached millions of students worldwide, fostering innovation, teamwork, and a passion for engineering and technology.
ReUSE Revamp, a social enterprise based in Mauritius, is the official In-Country Coordinator (ICC) for STEM Racing. We are committed to sustainability, the circular economy, and digital empowerment. By actively reducing e-waste, particularly laptops, we implement and promote low-carbon footprint solutions. Our initiatives empower communities through practical training workshops and raise awareness about environmental issues. Beyond bridging the digital divide, we aim to address the AI divide, ensuring access to advanced technologies for all. Through our efforts, we make technology and STEM programs more accessible, engaging, and impactful for communities.
This initiative underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and advancing education through hands-on, STEM-driven experiences.
