ANZ Teams Head to 2025 STEM Racing Finals

Five top student teams from Australia and New Zealand are set to compete at the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals 2025 this September. The event will be held on Sentosa Island in Singapore, alongside the 2025 Singapore Airlines Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.
These teams, four from Australia and one from New Zealand, will compete against more than 80 teams from 67 countries. They will represent the best of ANZ innovation, engineering, and teamwork. Along with over 900 participants—including students, teachers, media, judges, and organisers—they will take part in the world’s leading celebration of STEM education and international collaboration.

A Journey of Years in the Making

Getting to the World Finals is a big achievement. For most teams, reaching Singapore has taken one to three years of hard work, determination, and creativity. Each team has already succeeded at home by winning national competitions to earn their place. Now, as Team Australia and Team New Zealand, they will compete against the best from around the world for the top prize: being named Aramco STEM Racing World Champions 2026.

A Global Showcase with a Once-in-a-Lifetime Reward

The event will take place from 1 to 11 October 2025 at Resorts World Sentosa. During four days of competition, students will present their engineering projects, race their miniature F1-style cars, and be judged on innovation, teamwork, and enterprise. The Finals will end with an Awards Ceremony, a special behind-the-scenes Formula 1 pit lane walk, and the chance to experience the Singapore Grand Prix weekend—a unique opportunity for these future engineers.

Global Support for the Next Generation

The Aramco STEM Racing World Finals is supported by title sponsor Aramco and global partners such as Denford, Autodesk, Ansys, DHL, Mitutoyo, UCL Mechanical Engineering, the Project Management Institute Educational Foundation, the Singapore Tourism Board, the Singapore Grand Prix, and the FIA.
For Australia and New Zealand, this event highlights our students’ impressive talent and shows how important STEM education is for building the future workforce.
