MACH F1 STEM Racing(F1 In Schools) National Finals Team

From GEMS New Millennium School Dubai

We are the GNMS Dubai F1 in Schools/STEM team, and our project revolves around designing and building a miniature Formula 1 car powered by innovative engineering and industry-level technology. Our goal is to combine STEM principles to create a fast and efficient, friendly racing vehicle. We decided to undertake this project to develop our technical skills, foster teamwork, and match our interest in STEM competitions and careers. The car works by utilising lightweight materials and a CFD-analyzed body for speed and aerodynamics, with a CO2 propulsion system integrated into our body (as it's the method of propulsion for all cars in the competition), all controlled through precise engineering and design.

Our team members have diverse backgrounds in science, technology, and design, and we enjoy participating in STEM competitions, building things, and exploring innovative solutions to problems. We aim to inspire others in our communities to pursue careers in science and technology.

Sponsoring us offers PCBWay an excellent opportunity to support the next generation of engineers and innovators. Your sponsorship would enable us to fund our car's manufacturing/ resources that are vital for our project’s success. Though we won't use PCBs nor PCBWay's CNC machining(due to time restrictions, etc), we will proudly showcase PCBWay’s commitment to fostering STEM education and supporting young talents through our car(logo on the car) portfolio, verbal presentation, and social media. Partnering with us allows PCBWay to make a meaningful impact on inspiring future engineers, while also gaining visibility as a supporter of innovation and education in the STEM community.

We look forward to showcasing our project with your support!

(Note: We are still getting some stuff ready, and we just require minimal funding: 500-1000AED and this would really help us reach our goals)

And here are some images of working on our car apart from the previous stage portfolio:

Some other words to PCBWay: I was wondering if PCBWay offers international online internships or workshops and we would love to talk part of it. I my self (Yusuf) would probably buy PCBs for other projects from PCBWay due to your affordable, high quality manufacturing along with amazing customer service. fast turnaround, and customizable options.

Something about me (Yusuf. H - a 12th grader): I like playing video games, TT, football, billiards and taekwondo, as well as designing projects, ideating for research papers, designing other random things and business ideas. I have won STEM competitions like the Global Innovation Challenge before (regional- bronze) and participated in many others. I also wish to improve the CAD skills, dive deeper into CFD, learn how to properly build PCBs, develop my coding further(especially medical, and genetic coding as well). I wish to become a surgeon but I still love learning and building such tech related things and I am also interested in robotics. I might look forward to a mix in both.

Update: We got our car printed!!!

Team Journey

“Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.” – Roy T. Bennett

As members of a team entering a competition of an incredibly high degree, like STEM Racing, for the first time in our lives, we really felt a sense of uncertainty signing up. It was as if we were a group of 4 running a multinational automobile corporation, designing a car, testing aerodynamic efficiency and even acquiring sponsorships. But taking inspiration from our past senior team, we were all set to face whatever it may be. Right from the start, we knew that if we ever got a chance to win, this would be it.

We had almost no experience in proper CAD design and CFD analysis, but that didn’t bring our morale down; instead, we learnt it in a jiffy with the help of YouTube. Having designed the car, the mood in the camp was positive. After continuous design tweaks, we had 4 drafts of the car. We then found out that our car’s width was 90 mm (whereas the limit is 60 mm); we had to design the car again around that.

After getting the final model of the car manufactured, we saw that the halo was fitting properly from the end, thus we planned to sand it down. More to come...
