Fueling Conversations: The Café Giveaway Drive

Cafés aren’t just places for coffee—they’re hubs of conversation, curiosity, and connection. That’s why Team Tempest chose them as the perfect backdrop for one of our most exciting outreach initiatives: the Café Giveaway Drive.

We visited some of our favorite local cafés with a surprise for the community—custom-designed, 3D-printed phone holders shaped like our F1 car, each one a mini masterpiece of design and branding. These weren’t just creative tokens; they were functional, visually striking pieces that proudly featured the logos of our sponsors, putting their names quite literally into people’s hands.

The response? Incredible. People were excited not just about the giveaways, but about the story behind them. Our team got the chance to share what we do—how we design, race, and engineer as part of F1 in Schools—and why it matters. It became a casual but powerful way to raise awareness, spark conversations about STEM, and bring our mission to life outside the competition space.

The Café Giveaway wasn’t about making noise. It was about creating moments—moments where people paused, listened, and left with something memorable.

Want to catch us at the next café stop or get your hands on limited-edition Tempest merch? Keep an eye on our socials—we might be brewing something near you soon.
