Competition

After numerous setbacks and challenges, we are proud to announce that the Blaze Force team has achieved 3rd place at the regional level — the only team on the podium participating for the very first time.

Throughout the day, in addition to the races, we were evaluated in several areas: the verbal presentation, the engineering panel, and the business panel. The feedback we received from all the judges was very positive, and we are extremely pleased with the result, which guarantees us direct qualification for the national finals.

The competition took place at the CITEVE facilities in Vila Nova de Famalicão and brought together 7 teams. We’d like to highlight Project One, who secured 1st place, S-energy , who achieved 2nd, and @corsia_racing , who came in 4th — congratulations to all!

Lastly, we would like to thank the incredible teachers who supported and tirelessly dedicated themselves to this project: Prof. Teresa Martins and Prof. Carlos Castro; and our school, for its active involvement in these activities.

To our sponsors, who made the development of the project and the growth of the Blaze Force team possible;

To the organizers of this ambitious competition, and to the Municipality of Famalicão, which stands out for its support of school-based and entrepreneurial initiatives.

A heartfelt thank you!

With that, we sign off with a “see you soon.”

We’re off to the Nationals — and we couldn’t be happier with this achievement!
