AIS Pushp Vihar

Amity International School, Pushp Vihar, made a dashing sprint at the STEM Racing World Finals 2025, showcasing not just teamwork, but also creativity and problem-solving finesse in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Earlier known as ‘F1 in Schools’, this international competition challenges students aged 9 to 19 to design, build, and race miniature Formula One cars.
Representing India, Team Impetus Racers, comprising Maheer Singh, Naisha Singla, Aarav Rajpal, and Aryavardhan Chauhan, sped their way to the world finals in Singapore, conducted from September 27 to October 2, 2025.
The team, aged 13 to 16, first came together in 2022, finishing among the top 25 at the nationals. By 2023, they’d climbed into the top ten, and in 2025, their persistence paid off with a coveted spot at the world finals. The team’s name impetus, meaning energy and movement, shined through the students’ spirit as well as their car model. Their final design stood out for its flexible rear wing, boosting both speed and control, and modular parts that allowed quick testing and improvement.
Their innovation paid off, and Team Impetus Racers clinched the F1-supported Sustainability Award. Team Impetus Racers also earned nominations for Verbal Presentation Award, and Marketing & Sponsorship Award.
Besides its phenomenal show at the finals, the team has also started an outreach programme called ‘The Impetus Initiative’, which spreads awareness about STEM in schools and communities through events and activities. They also broke a national reaction time record with an amazing 0.013 seconds, showing just how fast and focused they were.
Amity Group of Schools has been part of this programme since 2013. That year, Amity International School, Noida, made history by being the first Indian school to represent the country at the F1 in Schools World Finals in Austin, Texas. Their Team Bolt won not one but two accolades - the Knock-Out Championship and the Best Newcomer Award. Since its debut at the event, Amity has made India proud at several world finals, including 2023, when Team Urja from AIS PV - the first all-girls team from Amity - won the Project Management Award.
