Appreciation Note from STEM Racing™ Mauritius

Thank you all for attending this event and joining us on the journey toward the National World Finals. Our goal today was to share a clear vision of how we are structured to support participants on their road to success.

As the In-Country Coordinator, I’m excited to announce that we are embracing the challenge of sending a team to the World Finals in our very first year. Traditionally, new countries have taken two or three years to build the skills and experience needed to compete at an international level.

To foster inclusivity and respond to public interest, we have reopened registration for schools and parents who may not have been aware of this opportunity. While every challenge typically has one winner, every participant will be recognized as a winner, with a globally acknowledged certificate of participation—especially valued in the Formula 1 community.

Stay tuned for further updates and future events that continue to empower and inspire the next generation of innovators.
