On May 24, six of our Form 4 students proudly represented our school in the STEM Racing Hong Kong Development Class 2025 competition, held at United Christian College (Kowloon East). Their hard work and creativity earned them the prestigious Best Display Award. Below are highlights of their pit display and reflections on their experience in the competition.

Participating in the STEM Racing Hong Kong Development Class Competition was an exhilarating and enriching experience. As the project manager, I combined leadership, organization, and teamwork to overcome challenges and guide our team to success. Despite setbacks—such as technical glitches, time constraints, and design flaws—each problem taught us resilience and adaptability. The thrill of seeing our creation race on the track after troubleshooting was immensely rewarding.
Most importantly, I learned that failure is a powerful teacher. Mistakes exposed weaknesses in our planning and execution, motivating us to refine our strategies. This competition wasn’t just about speed; it was about innovation, collaboration, and growth.
4A Stephen Kong
I am the Sponsorship and Marketing Manager of the Ferocious team. After the whole-day competition, I learned a lot from it. First of all, teamwork is really important. We had to set up the pit display together, and during the process, we needed to assign tasks to everyone.
That’s the reason why we won the Best Display Award. Also, as the team’s F1 driver, I had to race the car against other teams. It was nerve-wracking and not an easy job because I didn’t want to lose in the part that I was responsible for. Fortunately, we achieved a good result, and I am thankful to my teammates—they trusted me and gave me courage. So, thank you! Last but not least, let’s keep going and continue chasing our ultimate goals.

I was very happy and surprised by the competition because we won the award for Best Pit Display. After the competition, I learned valuable communication skills and the art of working with others. Although our roles and responsibilities were different, we worked together and collaborated by distributing materials and bringing them to the competition venue. It would have been hard for me to carry all the foam boards and stationery by myself if we hadn’t helped each other. Therefore, I now understand the importance of communication and teamwork.
It was a memorable experience for me because we won prizes and also learned something extra about physics and racing. For example, I learned that reducing air resistance can make a car go faster.

I am very excited to participate in the STEM Racing Hong Kong Development Class Competition with my team. My position is Design Engineer, and I am responsible for designing the race car for this competition. Throughout this process, I not only get to apply theoretical knowledge in practice but also work closely with my team to overcome challenges together. Through this race, my teammates and I are learning to embrace teamwork and gain a deeper understanding of physics principles and engineering concepts. This will be an unforgettable experience, and I look forward to achieving great results with everyone in the professional class.
4A Mico Chu
After this competition, the most valuable thing I learned is teamwork. At first, many tasks weren’t done even a week before the competition. We were worried about whether we could submit everything in time, such as the portfolios. However, in the end, we managed to complete and submit everything by working together as a team.
In the beginning, we faced many conflicts regarding the design of the car, pit display, and team uniform. However, we managed to resolve these issues by calming down and having open conversations. We were thrilled to win an award. This means a lot to us because it shows that we put our blood, sweat, and tears into this entire competition.

Joining the STEM Racing competition was an unforgettable experience for me! At first, I felt a bit nervous because everything was so new, but soon, I started to really enjoy it while working with my teammates.
Throughout this competition, I learned a lot about communication, problem-solving, and project management. There were challenges along the way, but we didn’t complain. Instead, we overcame them together, which made us stronger as a team. Seeing our hard work earn us a reward in this competition filled me with satisfaction and pride in the team.
This experience inspired me to keep learning and trying new things. I’m truly grateful for the friendships and skills I gained along the way. I will never forget this!
