On Friday 7 June, four Northbridge International School Cambodia students participated in the Jr F1 Grand Prix at BIS Ho Chi Minh City. The event saw student teams designing and racing their own model F1 racing cars.
The holidays could not deter our dedicated team, who sacrificed the last few days of school and first days of summer break in order to represent our school.
It was a great opportunity for our students to showcase their teamwork and collaboration, as well as our outstanding abilities in STEAM.
In our first year attending the event, we placed 5th overall in the racing competition out of 10 teams, which was a promising result. However it was in the team identity category that our team truly shined.
The event also requires students to design and market their team logo, brand and merchandise.
Our team was called Yek Luen (Fast Giants) and our team branding featured a traditional style Khmer giant figure with a blue and red color scheme to represent Cambodia's flag.
Northbridge students proudly took out the Team Identity award - well done to our team! We look forward to participating in the BIS Grand Prix next year.
In a rapidly evolving world, where artificial intelligence, automation, and environmental challenges reshape our societies, the value of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education has never been greater. At Northbridge International School Cambodia (NISC), we believe that fostering creativity and innovation is at the heart of preparing students for the future.
Digital math platforms, sometimes known as math apps, have become increasingly common in recent years, including at Northbridge International School Cambodia. These platforms, which offer an online space for children to learn and practice mathematical concepts and skills, became ubiquitous in education due to the period of global school closures brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
There is an increasing focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) education in school curriculums all over the world, and NISC is no exception.
