JAMMU, Oct 17: Brahmakumaris today honoured Jodhamal’s Helios team for qualifying F1 School World finals which is scheduled to be held in the United Kingdom next year.
The team players who were honoured during a function at Brahmakumaris Ashram, here include Saksham Sagar, Samridh Sharma, Samik J Singh, Ashmit Gupta and Mysha Tabrez by the spiritual leaders of the Brahmakumaris and advised them for meditation for 20 minutes per day which will help to concentrate on game during the finals.
The team was selected in the F1 School Challenge Season-4, held at Delhi by displaying their exceptional technical skills and innovative thinking wherein about 40 national teams participated.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Jodhamal in collaboration with Times of Sports has been conducting STEM programmes for the last few years. This STEM programme is a multi-disciplinary challenge in which a team of students aged 9 to 19 deploy CAD / CAM software to collaborate design, analyse, manufacture, test and then race miniature compressed air powered balsa wood F1 cars.
Based on the formula-1 motorsport, the competition involves the designing and manufacturing of a miniature working F1 car model by individual team from all over the country, which then race with each other on a 25 meter long track.
After winning four awards including the Resilience Award, the Pit Display Award, Fastest Reaction Time Award and the Runner up Award at the national stage, the team is now gearing up for one of the biggest world finals which is scheduled to held in the United Kingdom next year.
