Best in the world
In October, more than 500 of the world's brightest young minds, aged 13–19, will travel to Singapore to compete in the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals 2026, held alongside the Formula 1® Singapore Grand Prix.
Representing the very best teams from around the globe, students will put their months, and even years, of hard work to the test as they compete across engineering, enterprise, project management, verbal presentations and racing. Every team has designed, manufactured and tested a 1:25 scale Formula 1 car, with races lasting little more than a second and victories often decided by just milliseconds.
Before the lights go out, every car must pass a rigorous technical inspection in parc fermé, while judges assess each team's engineering portfolio, enterprise strategy and overall performance across six competition areas. It's four action-packed days of innovation, collaboration and competition as the world's best young engineers battle to be crowned STEM Racing World Champions.
“Arriving in Singapore will be a new, exciting and possibly daunting experience for the teams, but I know that they will all leave with huge grins and a trip which will have created lifetime memories. I’m excited to see the new innovations and collaborations which the students bring to Singapore; these make STEM Racing such a unique and rewarding competition.”
– Andrew Denford, Chairman and Founder of STEM Racing
A life-changing experience
Whilst we’re looking for our next World Champions, the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals is also about far more than winning a trophy. For the teams competing, it's an opportunity to showcase their skills on the world stage, opening doors to university scholarships, careers in Formula 1®, and creating invaluable connections with leading global employers.
Bringing together students from over 30 countries, the event is also a celebration of innovation, collaboration and cultural exchange. Throughout the week, competitors will meet like-minded young people from around the world, share ideas, experience new cultures and build friendships that last long after the awards ceremony has closed.
With show-stopping team pit displays, live race commentary, interactive experiences and world-class production, the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals is an unforgettable celebration of the next generation of engineers, innovators and future leaders.
