🌍🤝 Connecting the Next Generation of Engineers Across Borders Yesterday, our GISSV STEM Racing students had the opportunity to participate in an international STEM Racing Meet & Greet with students, teachers, mentors, sponsors, jury members, and champions from Germany, the United States, France, Ukraine, and Italy. As the youngest participants in the session, our 9- and 10-year-old students gained valuable insights into the world of STEM Racing through conversations with experienced competitors and industry supporters. One of the highlights was speaking with Timo from Team evolut1on of Karl-Maybach-Gymnasium in Friedrichshafen, the 2024 STEM Racing World Champions, as well as STEM Racing experts Alexander Uelhoff and Moritz Zimmermann. Their advice, experiences, and encouragement gave our students a glimpse of what is possible through teamwork, innovation, and perseverance. The event was organized by Susann Kunz, a dedicated STEM Racing mentor and advocate for STEM education, who brought together students, educators, industry partners, and champions from across Europe and the United States to inspire the next generation of engineers. We are grateful to Susann, Timo, Alexander, Moritz, and all participating mentors, champions, jury members, and sponsors for inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators. We are proud that our students could be part of this experience—and look forward to seeing them apply their learning at our upcoming STEM Racing Elementary Competition next week.
