History

The "RAT Race" was an annual robotics competition founded by Rob Parker at Charter International School in Bangkok in 2015. This multi year spanning event was designed to challenge students in the fields of robotics, automation, and technology, fostering innovation and practical problem-solving skills. Participants engaged in various tasks that tested their engineering and programming abilities, promoting a hands-on, student-centered learning experience.

RAT Foundation aims to engage learners in a variety of STEM related events, providing them with a space to showcase their creative & problem solving skills.

People, culture and our committee

Our people are what make us unique. While we come from different background we are all passionate about education and making a change for the future.

We are strong believers in transparency and being fair, so have a created a committee to make the essential decisions this foundation needs. We are always looking for more volunteers so please reach out if you think like us and would like to play a part in this venture.
