Students in Mexico and Spain are engaging in various technological competitions to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education.

In Mexico, teams from the University of Guadalajara, specifically Tonaltech and Tlaqueracing, prepared to represent the country at the STEM Racing world finals in Singapore. This Formula 1-driven competition focuses on project-based learning.

Other regional initiatives include the Tec Drone Championship Saltillo 2026 in Mexico, organized by Tec de Monterrey, which features high-speed racing and autonomous drone challenges. In Spain, the ARUS Andalucía Racing Team from the University of Seville has developed the ART-27D, a hydrogen-powered vehicle, which will be used to demonstrate electric propulsion and autonomous driving technologies during a tour of several municipalities.
