Hi everyone! As you may have heard, Team equiNOX has been away from school over the past week at the F1 in Schools World Finals 2015.
After a few gruelling days of intense competition with 46 other teams from all around the world, we are very very proud to announce that we have been awarded the FIA WOMEN IN MOTORSPORTS AWARD! As an all girls' team, we hope that this award can help redefine gender perceptions that women can't succeed in engineering, and we hope to trailblaze the way for future women engineers. We are also glad to have made Singapore proud by being the only Singaporean team to win an award in this year's competition.
This award was really unexpected and we never thought that we would come so far! Of course, we would definitely not have achieved all of this without the support of our sponsors: Digimagic Communications, Cloudstringers, National University of Singapore, Burlinson Dental Surgery, Safra Radio, Wanco Manpower, EmitAsia Singapore Pte Ltd, Davin Link and Yi Mei Motor Repair & Spray Painting. Thank you for taking the leap of faith in choosing to support us.
We would also like to thank our mentor, Mr Kenneth Neo, from NUS. Thank you for not only helping us with the car designs, but also accommodating our ridiculous requests.
Thank you so much to everyone who has believed in us, trusted in us and supported us in one way or another. With the experience gained from this World Finals, we'll be sure to work even harder for our next World Finals in Austin, Texas in 2016!
Special shoutout to Team Phoenix Legacy: Thank you for your constant encouragement and weird advice. We truly hope that we've made you proud and carried on your legacy ;)
