On Dec 15th and 16th, the National STEM League 2019 season regionals was hosted in Shanghai. Teams from all around China gathered here during the weekend. SHSID had two teams attending the 2019 season of NSL and both teams are composed of freshmen and sophomores.
On December 15th, the members of GT Racing and all other teams got to the tracks early in the morning at 9:30 AM. Once the teams settled down, they all first put up their decorations for the stand. Then the competition officially began. The drivers were racing furiously in order to get used to the tracks. As drivers stood beside the tracks, concentrating and masterfully controlling the remote cars; engineers stood in the pit box practicing the pit stop challenge. The entire stadium was heated up bythe passion from the participants.
At the same time, drones, unnoticed by the hardworking participants, recorded the perfect moment — when everybody were contributing with passion and the desire to finish first. Both SHSID teams were able to excel at the regional round of National STEM League. M-Dynamic team claims the third place in Pit Stop Challenge and Endurance Race as a first timer, while the GT Racing team achieved five No.1, three No. 2 awards, as well as the grand champion trophy home with the highest total score out of all the teams.
