Team values
Team values
Behind the goals we have set, are the core values of the team. Like any successful team, our set goals and values before it started. These values would fit into any project we could do because they establish good cooperation and commitment. These values are hard work, capacity and self-confidence.

Team Identity
Team Identity
To create the team identity we had a lot of team discussions, due to its sheer significance throughout the competition. The first word of our name, “Apex”, could be translated into Greek as apogee or peak. This means that we must do whatever it takes. We can do our best to achieve our goals. The colours that were carefully selected after extensive research. Our logo, selected among many others, is designed to list the name of our team in the best possible way.
Team Goals
Team Goals
Goals are integral to team development and organization; in fact, we have determined the ones most important to our team. Our goals are to attract seven (7) sponsors, to organize events –– 2 live and 2 online ones and to create a short video that will reflect the identity of the team. Our goal is also the car to be as small in size as possible, so as not to have a weight which can reduce the maximum speed that it can reach. We also want it to have a good exterior design and the colours of our identity, to make a Gantt chart and to follow the deadlines that we set, to set long & short term goals and create a website and social media.
"If knowledge is not used, it benefits no one.”
To achieve our goals, we have structured our team in an efficient manner that encourages cooperation, with each member having clearly defined roles. Moreover, the roles and responsibilities of each team member were determined by each member’s experience, knowledge and skills, combined with their strengths, weaknesses and overall interests.
