The Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Talent and Creativity, one of the centers under the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences, announced that the teams Barq Racing and Mouj Racing will participate in the finals of the STEM Racing World Championship, supported by Formula 1, to be held in Singapore next October.

In a press release issued on Tuesday, the center stated that the two teams qualified after successfully competing in the local championship finals held in Kuwait last July. It noted that the teams underwent an experience combining training and practical application, with students responsible for preparing the teams and projects, designing and manufacturing miniature racing cars, developing marketing strategies, managing resources, and presenting their projects to judging panels.

The center clarified that the Barq Racing team comprises Abdulrahman Al-Rafai, Khaled Al-Khalidi, Ali Al-Musbah, Ahmed Al-Basman, and Abdulwahab Al-Mutairi, while the Mouj Racing team includes Hussein Safar, Abdulwahab Al-Sallal, Sheikha Al-Duai, Nasser Al-Qatami, Saud Al-Khalidi, and Fawaz Al-Dahi.

It added that the teams are preparing to compete against a select group of student teams from various countries, in an experience that allows them to test their projects and skills on an international level. The qualifying local championship enabled them to work within specialized teams that took on multiple responsibilities, including engineering, administrative, and media-related aspects.

The center emphasized that the teams’ advancement to the world finals reflects their commitment to providing practical spaces for youth to test their abilities and broaden their horizons in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It wished the teams success and an honorable representation of Kuwait at this global forum.
