Today, Vielox seems like a team that naturally emulates confidence. A year ago, however, the thought of even entering this competition felt daunting. Vielox began in this very room, where our enterprise team marvelled at the exhilarating racing videos produced by Vietnam’s reigning Champions, Mercury F1. While we were captivated by the ingenuity of their work, we were equally reluctant to participate in these endeavours ourselves. As students not conventionally known to be skilled in STEM, we struggled to envision ourselves participating in the competition - let alone compete for victory.

Yet, as we gradually recruited new acquaintances who shared a similar passion for innovation, this goal was made possible. Consequently, Vielox emerged, and with it brought countless moments of growth shaped by a simple conviction: that anyone, regardless of prior expertise, can find their place within STEM.

So no matter the outcome at the Grand Prix, our team remains truly proud of what we have endured together. From late night 3AM grinding sessions before deliverable submission to conflicts that forced us to listen more carefully and understand one another as teammates, every obstacle has left behind a life-long memory, collectively tethering us through the journey we shared. Most importantly, for the versions of ourselves a year ago, this progress stands as a testament to the limits we have transcended. What once felt impossible slowly became within our reach, enabling us to flourish in the very pursuits we never imagined ourselves capable of achieving.
