🏁 STEM Racing · BBIS · season 2026/27

School team application

Deadline: Sunday 15 November 2026, 23:59 (Berlin). This is the school-team form, not the national championship entry. Photo is required: in the lessons we saw who was active, we did not always catch names.

Step 1 · Choose your team:

1. You

Junior team: all members born 2012 or later. If you were born 2008–2011, use Senior.

First name and last name School email Class / year groupExample: MYP 2, Grade 7. Birth year Parent / guardian email (optional)

2. Photo

Face clearly visible. No group photo. This is how we match you to the lessons.

Your photo

How often did you come to the STEM / IN-CAD lessons?

Almost every time Most of the time A few times I did not come / I am new

3. Role

First role required. You may combine two — that is normal in STEM Racing. Pflicht on every team: Team Manager (max 1) and Constructor.

First role

Constructor / CAD — 3D design of the car (Konstruktion) Production / Manufacturing — making the three cars (Produktion) Graphic Design — colours, logos, look (Grafikdesign) Marketing / Resources — team name, sponsors, how the team is seen (Ressourcen) Team Manager — one person; calendar and submissions (Teammanagement)

Second role (or none)

No second role Constructor / CAD Production / Manufacturing Graphic Design Marketing / Resources Team Manager

4. Why this, and what it is

How did you understand the main point of STEM Racing and of being in this race? Tick all that apply. You may choose several, or all.

It is a team. We only get somewhere if we work as one team. It is mainly a chance to show strong individual skills. It is organised work, following rules that are already written. It is discipline: doing the unglamorous work on time. It is delivering under tight, fixed deadlines. It is being ready to work with teammates, including when that is hard.

I am ready for — tick every line you accept Tick all that apply. Several or all.

Working as a team, not as a solo project Following a written rulebook, including boring constraints Discipline: sanding, reprints, measuring, not only the first sketch Hard deadlines Explaining my part to the others and to a jury Making three identical cars this season

Why do you want to be on the BBIS Junior team?About 4–8 sentences. Why this, not a general “I like cars”.

5. Making and CAD
