Aramco F1 in Schools World Champions 2020/21 will be crowned next month

Picture
Inspiring designs, innovative engineering, outstanding creativity, nail-biting nerves and heart-warming team bonds are just some of the many facets of the pinnacle of F1 in Schools, its annual World Finals.

The 16th Aramco F1 in Schools World Finals, to be held from 4 – 8 June this year at the F1 in Schools UK headquarters is revving up, with 220 competitors from 43 teams from across the globe ready to be on the grid in the largest STEM challenge in the world. With just two weeks until they are on track, it’s a race to the wire as the teams put the finishing touches to their entries and prepare to showcase their talents for the ultimate glory of  being crowned World Champions.

The Aramco F1 in Schools World Finals 2020 (21) will combine a live racing event with Zoom-powered presentations to create an immersive, interactive world class competition. All the World Finals teams have designed, tested and manufactured model F1 in Schools cars, used project management tools, created engineering and enterprise portfolios and developed sponsorship and marketing campaigns, all whilst learning new STEM skills along the way. Across the packed five-day schedule,  judged activities, head-to-head racing and technical analysis will culminate in the crowning of the new World Champions.

 “Aramco is proud to serve as title sponsor of the F1 in Schools World Finals, not only because of our commitment to support STEM growth in new and exciting ways, but because we see in these bright young students the very same passion for engineering and innovation that drives our work. As they think outside the box to build a better race car, they inspire us all with their ingenuity. In turn, we hope to inspire them to use their talents to change the world,” Fahad Dhubaib, General Manager Public Affairs, Aramco.

 The innovations and enterprise shown by the students in the pursuit of success is phenomenal. A collaboration team from Malaysia and China developed a new type of plastic to build the wings and wheels of their cars, a team from India has created a Car Motion Calculator app to help new teams test their car concepts and an American team designed a rear wheel diffuser, just three of many, many inventions that will be showcased next month.

 The Aramco F1 in Schools World Finals 2020 (21) will be hosted from the F1 in Schools World Finals studio, by F1 Esports Series presenter Tom Deacon and will be formally opened by Amin H. Nasser, CEO, Aramco on 4 June, with an Opening Show broadcast live on F1 in Schools YouTube channel. This will be the first time that all the student teams meet each other, although unlike usual World Finals, it will be virtually via Zoom.

 Two days of time trial racing and judging sessions for the students, with a knockout racing competition to close, will decide the final positions at the chequered flag. Celebrating the new World Champions will be the finale of this year’s competition, hosted from the F1 in Schools World Finals studio, with the audience joining by Zoom to watch the announcement of the 20 award winners and the podium finishers, as the outstanding achievements of the future engineers and professionals of the Formula 1 industry are rewarded.

 Andrew Denford, Founder and Chairman, F1 in Schools, says, “It has been a huge task to bring together our World Finals team, although this year it will be via the technology of Zoom, rather than our acclaimed live events held at international Grands Prix. It will, of course, be different but we have a packed schedule of events, activities and live action, with special guests throughout the course of the competition.”
 
“Our STEM competition and education programme nurtures and develops young students to realise their ambitions, and the World Finals showcases talent from so many countries and in so many different areas of STEM. They are all hugely passionate students who have been able to channel their enthusiasm into F1 in Schools to learn, develop and, in many cases, realise their future.  I look forward to a closely fought competition and I know there will be worthy winners on the top step of the podium.”
​
 UCL Mechanical Engineering scholarships are on offer to the World Champions, as well as the prized F1 in Schools World Champions trophy. The Aramco F1® in Schools World Finals is held with the support of a host of sponsors including Formula 1®, Aramco, Zoom, Autodesk, Denford, FIA Women in Motorsport, The Institution of Engineering and Technology, UCL Engineering and FIA Action for Road Safety.

F1® IN SCHOOLS PARTNERS WITH ZOOM 
​

Picture
Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) will be the Official Unified Communications partner for the Aramco F1® in Schools World Finals 2020(21), the pinnacle of the F1® in Schools competition, and the largest global STEM education programme.

With travel restrictions in place in many countries, this year’s competition will be a hybrid experience for the 250 students participating. Many of the competition elements will use Zoom’s comprehensive communication services during the event which will be held from 4 – 8 June 2021.
The World Finals judging process will use Zoom breakout rooms for student teams to connect with the panels of experts drawn from industry and education sectors. Zoom will deliver the event content, and presentations from Formula 1® industry personnel, F1® in Schools alumni and invited guests during the event. Hosted from the F1® in Schools World Finals studio, Tom Deacon will anchor the event, presenting live racing, interviewing each competing student team and welcoming special guests live via the Zoom throughout the event.

The announcement of the F1® in Schools World Champions 2020(21) and award category winners, with Formula 1® President & CEO Stefano Domenicali joining live via Zoom, will be the highlight of the event. Hosted by the voice of F1® in Schools, David Croft, via Zoom, this celebration of the students’ achievements will be delivered to a huge global audience of families, friends, school peers, media, guests, and Formula 1®, STEM and education industry representatives.

This multi-faceted STEM competition embraces enterprise, design, engineering, marketing and teamwork.  Formula 1® is at the heart of the initiative, with students across the globe forming F1® teams in miniature to design, make, test and race an F1® in Schools car, competing regionally and nationally, with the best teams winning a place at the F1® in Schools World Finals.
UCL Mechanical Engineering scholarships are on offer to the World Champions, as well as the prestigious F1® in Schools World Champions trophy. Award category trophies supported by the Formula 1® teams are also highly prized.

Andrew Denford, Founder and Chairman, F1® in Schools, said: “Zoom recently became the official unified communications platform of Formula 1 and we are very fortunate to have been able to benefit from this and introduce Zoom into our World Finals event.
 
 “This year, more than any other, communications technology will be key to the success of our event. Partnering with Zoom, a world leader in its field, will ensure that we can deliver a highly professional World Finals that will unite our teams from around the world so that they can be a part of this very prestigious global competition. It’s a great opportunity for us to showcase the Zoom platform within the learning environment and demonstrate how it helps engage with students and their learning.”

“We are thrilled to support this multi-faceted STEM competition through our collaboration with Formula 1,” said Janine Pelosi, Zoom CMO. “We believe hybrid models such as the World Finals offer students a possibility to continue to learn, advance and personally grow, regardless of geographical or resource constraints. Our unified communications platform enables new ways of teaching, learning, and working across a variety of educational environments, and we drive to improve excellence, equity, and inclusion for students, faculty and staff.”
