Three World-Class Student Competition Teams Share Their Success Principles

Due to the pandemic, it’s been very difficult for teams around the world to retain knowledge and to pass on knowledge to new members. With two whole seasons under Covid constraints, the negative effects on team knowledge and communications were magnified – so we decided to interview a few top teams that have what we call ‘learning organizations’ or ‘knowledge-retention organizations’ – teams who are very intentional about their process and organization and have many podium successes as a result. Such as the #1 and #6 world-ranked Formula Electric teams. All three outstanding teams were eager to share with other teams around the world. These insights are valuable for student teams of all kinds such as other Formula Student teams, rocket teams, airplane teams, solar car teams… long after Covid constraints are lifted.
