ABOUT ME AND THIS CAMPAIGN :
My name is AYUSH AGRAWAL and I am in Grade 10 at the Billabong High International school in Thane.
I have undertaken this campaign because my team of F1 in the school known as Xtreme Racers has reached the National finals of the F1 in schools. We were the first runner up in the West Regional Finals of F1 in schools and for the national finals, we are in need of fund for the competition. This platform makes it a lot easier for us to collect funds for the competition.
A little bit of help from your side would be of huge help for us. It would help us in working for the competition as we can get equipped with better financial support for the competition.
Once you fund I would be immensely grateful if you can also share my campaign on FB and with some of your friends on your WhatsApp groups. Please tell them that you have funded this campaign and that they can too. Your share will make a big difference for us in the competition.
TEAM XTREME RACERS
Xtreme Racers: the first runner up team at the west regional finals of the F1 in Schools™ which has been qualified for The National Finals being held at Amity University, Noida between 25th to 27th April 2019. In addition, we won the "First Runner Up Award" award at the west regionals.
We are very excited about this challenge and really looking forward to winning this competition. We have decided to delegate the responsibilities as follows:
- Anvay Kudva - Team Manager
- Manas Gandhi - Design and Manufacturing Engineer
- Sidh Palan – Graphics Engineer
- Ayush Agrawal – Resource and Sponsorship Manager
We, Xtreme Racers, have an aim of winning the national finals of F1 in Schools and want to prove to the world how great of competition can Team India be in the International Finals of F1 in Schools.
Some of our sponsors like Glamac, Strugence, Property Junction and Decaltech have been with us along our journey in the West Region Finals but are unfortunately unable to help us out in working for the National Finals which is why we decided to approach the platform Fueladream.
We would need additional support in areas of travel and accommodation, portfolio printing, installing a pit booth and merchandising. Please help us out and encourage us to win the competition of the National Finals of F1 in Schools.

Risks and challenges
1. As a team competing in a STEM-based competition for the first time, we were not aware of the way we have to work for the competition but were guided by our honorable coaches.
2. We were unaware about the way in which the newly introduced software known as the Autodesk 360 but eventually discovered the functions of the software which in turn helped us create the design which helped us win the first runner up position in the west regional finals of the competition.
FAQs
Q1. What will you utilize the funds for?

A2. No. Your funding will help us and will go a long way in making us kids who continue to innovate and discover new things.
Q3. How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an Idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such a pooling of funds. You can fund innovations , ideas & projects on FuelADream . You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries
