We deliver programs that are metamorphic in their nature and outcome, creating a transition in student and teacher capabilities so profound that they don’t just change a person’s knowledge base; they change them fundamentally.
REA Update
Exciting Changes for F1 in Schools – Introducing STEM Racing!
F1 in Schools is rebranding as STEM Racing, and the program will continue to inspire and empower thousands of young students across Australia and New Zealand. While the name changes, our core mission remains to encourage students to pursue STEM subjects and develop critical skills for the future. Designed for teachers and informed by engineers, this program gives students in years 3–12 hands-on experience in STEM fields by creating a miniature F1 car.
For over 20 years, Re-Engineering Australia Foundation Ltd (REA) has successfully managed the program with government and industry funding support. However, with the government no longer funding REA’s activities, we are now working on an exciting new management model to ensure schools and students can continue participating and thriving. Over the coming weeks, we will develop a structure that distributes leadership across schools and regions, creating an even stronger and more sustainable program.
What does this mean for schools?
First and foremost, STEM Racing is here to stay and will continue to grow! Schools participating in the program can rest assured that they will continue to be supported.
We are also excited to confirm that the 2025 National Final will occur during the week of 14th May in either Melbourne or Adelaide. We are currently in discussions with potential venues and will announce the final location as soon as it is confirmed. Holding the event in May ensures that teams and schools have ample time to prepare for the competition.
As part of the transition to the new management model, we are establishing State-based STEM Racing Steering Groups, including representatives from schools across each state. These groups will help coordinate local events, ensuring that state competitions run between August and December 2025 while distributing the workload more effectively.
We appreciate your support during this transition and look forward to working together to make STEM Racing even bigger and better! We will continue to share updates and details as they become available.
Thank you for being part of this exciting journey!
