🚀 Wrapping Up the F1 in Schools HQ World Finals in aramco
What an unforgettable four days it’s been!
The F1 in Schools Finals, which ran from November 23rd to November 26th, showcased the extraordinary talent and dedication of students from all around the world—and The Foresight Foundation & Foresight I.T. Services were thrilled to be part of it.
📋
Over the course of the event, we had the privilege of interviewing every team, diving into their project portfolios and learning about their planning, ex*****on, and risk management strategies.
Each team had 15 minutes to present their work, followed by a 5-minute Q&A session. Hearing their stories and understanding their journey was inspiring and gave us insight into the immense effort behind their success.
🌍
This was truly a worldwide event, with teams hailing from:
🇲🇽 Mexico (including two all-girls teams!)
🇩🇪 Germany
🇪🇸 Spain
🇫🇷 France
🇺🇸 USA
🏴 England
🇮🇪 Ireland
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇦🇪 UAE
🇶🇦 Qatar
…and many more!
Each team brought their unique perspectives, and it was inspiring to hear students, often presenting in English as a second language, confidently explain their portfolios and showcase their cars.
🏁
The event also welcomed experts from across the globe, including our director, Craig Barratt , who was invited to be part of the judging panel.
The finals provided an incredible opportunity for participants to apply and learn real-world project management principles, guided by frameworks from the Project Management Institute (PMI). From planning and ex*****on to risk management, these students demonstrated skills that will serve them in IT, engineering, and beyond.
🎥 From Portfolios to the Track
Once the interviews were complete, the excitement shifted to the track, where teams raced their cars in front of a live audience. Watching their months of hard work come alive was thrilling, and we couldn’t help but cheer for every team as they gave it their all.
For some, this was their first-ever competition, making their accomplishments even more remarkable.
💡 Why It Matters
This event was about so much more than just racing. It was about celebrating innovation, collaboration, and determination. Students from diverse cultures, languages, and backgrounds came together to solve problems, showcase their creativity, and learn from one another. The confidence, teamwork, and skills on display were nothing short of extraordinary.
🌟 Looking Ahead
At The Foresight Foundation, we are honored to support initiatives like this that empower the next generation of innovators.
The lessons learned—both on and off the track—will shape the futures of these talented students and leave a lasting impact on industries around the world.
Here’s to another incredible F1 in Schools Finals! Until next time! 👏
