STEM racing — formerly F1 in Schools — is a global, Formula 1-endorsed STEM challenge where student teams design, manufacture, and race miniature F1 cars, powered by compressed CO2, down a 20-metre track. Running for over 25 years across 65+ countries, it gives students an authentic F1 team experience, taking on roles like designer, engineer, manufacturing strategist, and team principal while applying CAD, CFD, CNC manufacturing, and sponsorship skills to build the fastest, best-engineered car.
Teams progress from Regional to National Finals, with a shot at the STEM Racing World Finals, held alongside an F1 Grand Prix. Judging covers car speed, engineering, manufacturing quality, presentation, and branding — making it a test of both speed and teamwork.
Team Xcelera is an all-girls STEM racing team built on the belief that engineering, design, and motorsport innovation know no gender. Bringing together six students with diverse strengths in strategy, design, manufacturing, creativity, and outreach, Xcelera operates like a true Formula 1 organisation — every member holds a defined role and responsibility, working collaboratively to design, engineer, and race a competition-ready miniature F1 car while building a brand, securing partnerships, and creating impact in our community.
As young women in a field that has historically been male-dominated, Team Xcelera is proud to be carving out space for girls in STEM and motorsport engineering — proving that ambition, precision, and innovation belong to everyone.
To empower girls to explore careers in STEM and motorsport engineering by designing, manufacturing, and racing a championship-calibre miniature F1 car while using our platform to inspire other young women, expand access to STEM education, and build meaningful collaborations across schools, communities, and countries.

Leads the team's overall project direction, setting timelines, coordinating between departments, and ensuring every milestone — from design to final presentation — is met with precision. As the driving force behind Team Xcelera's strategy, Naisha keeps the team aligned with its mission and vision at every stage of the competition.
Shapes the visual identity of Team Xcelera, from the team logo and livery to presentation decks, social media content, and the pit display. Tvisha translates the team's energy and ambition into striking, cohesive visuals that represent Xcelera on and off the track.
Builds and maintains relationships with sponsors and partners, securing the resources that power Team Xcelera's journey. Myrah also leads outreach efforts, connecting the team with schools, communities, and organisations to expand Xcelera's impact.
Oversees the manufacturing pipeline of the miniature F1 car, from CNC machining to quality control, ensuring every component meets STEM Racing's technical regulations. Asmi manages production systems to keep the build process efficient and accurate.
Manages the team's resources, budgets, materials, and event logistics, ensuring Team Xcelera is fully prepared for every workshop, scrutineering session, and race day. Avika keeps the team's operations running smoothly behind the scenes.
Team Xcelera was crowned Regional Champion at the STEM Racing Regional Finals 2026, topping the standings against competing teams across car performance, engineering, and presentation.
This win earned the team its qualification to the next stage of competition and recognition for outstanding design, manufacturing precision, and team presentation.
Xcelera also claimed the title of Knockout Champions 2026, winning the head-to-head elimination race format that tests reaction time, car speed, and consistency under pressure.
The knockout title reflects the strength and reliability of the team's car engineering — built to perform under direct, competitive racing conditions.
Team Xcelera is committed to using STEM racing as a platform to widen access to engineering and motorsport education, with a particular focus on inspiring girls to see themselves in STEM.
Team Xcelera's outreach work is anchored by its connection to the Wramsond Research Foundation, which supports young women pursuing STEM and engineering literacy among young communities.
Project Twinkle is Team Xcelera's flagship initiative aimed at introducing young girls to engineering and motorsport concepts through accessible, hands-on learning experiences designed to spark early interest in STEM.
Team Xcelera organised F1-themed quiz sessions, testing students on Formula 1 history, race strategy, and car engineering — making the sport approachable and exciting while introducing students to the world of motorsport engineering.
Through public outreach activities in community spaces, Team Xcelera showcases its race car and project to the wider public, raising awareness of STEM racing and engaging families and young students about the world of motorsport engineering.
STEM Racing connects student teams across more than 65 countries, and Team Xcelera is proud to be building its own network of international connections as part of this global movement.
Team Xcelera has established a collaborative connection with peers in the United Kingdom — the birthplace of the STEM Racing competition — exchanging ideas on car design, strategy, and team operations.
Xcelera has also built a connection with a partner team in Germany, fostering cross-cultural exchange and shared learning between two STEM Racing communities.
