STEM Racing UK

Small or tall, fitting in the palm of your hand or towering above your head, we love seeing team mascots at STEM Racing events – whatever their size 🙌

Bringing even more fun, personality, and team spirit to the competition, these creative representations of a team's identity always make a lasting impression. From cuddly companions to larger-than-life creations, mascots are a fantastic way for teams to showcase their creativity and stand out from the crowd 💫

The need to know details:

Development & Professional Classes

The scoring system used within the Rules & Regulations has been brought in line with those of the World Finals. They now use four point bands instead of three, with an additional segmentation of 11 - 15 and 16 - 20. This gives teams a more accurate reflection and detailed understanding of their performance through increased granular scoring.

Entry & Primary

Don’t worry, if you competed last year, the details remain largely the same, with only a few small updates and clarifications!

That winning feeling, explained by our Primary National Champions, Phoenix Fires of Ysgol Cynwd Sant 🤩 🥳

“Taking part in the UK National Finals was one of the best experiences of our lives. We never expected to win against 69 other schools, so hearing our name announced was unbelievable. Designing our car together, inspired by the Phoenix and flames, taught us so much about teamwork, creativity and perseverance - we’re better friends than ever too!”

Cars that look as good as they perform 😮‍💨

The line-ups at this year’s National Finals were something else - each and every team set the bar high when it came to livery and looks; but, luckily, it wasn’t style over substance - they were just as impressive on the track as off 🏎️ 💫
