  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Story Reuters | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Organizers of the ‘F1 in Schools’ competition say the Netflix ‘Drive to Survive’ effect is reaching the classroom with a record number of teams entered in this year’s finals in Singapore in September. “There’s 68% girls in Saudi doing it and three (Saudi) teams coming with a majority of girls,” said Denford. The program launched in Britain in 2000 with eight schools in Wakefield and now has more than 28,000 educational institutions involved worldwide. At the youngest level, kids start at the age of nine with paper cars powered by bicycle pumps. In the top 11-19 age bracket, the cars are carved from a block of balsa wood and powered by a gas canister.

☆ Zimbabweans hit by rising prices as local currency plummets

HARARE, June 14 (Reuters) - Zimbabwean businesses and households are fearing a repeat of the hyperinflation seen more than a decade ago as prices of basic commodities spike after a sharp weakening in the local currency, despite government efforts to boost it. "I went into the supermarket to buy bread and other groceries items but I was shocked to see that prices had gone up. While some retailers have hiked local currency prices, others are trading exclusively in U.S. dollars to cushion themselves from the weakening Zimdollar. "It is not possible for the retailer to procure goods with U.S. dollar and sell them in local currency," Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers president Denford Mutashu said. As panic over the weakening Zimdollar spreads, there have been calls for Zimbabwe to again fully dollarise the economy.

This year, staff cuts have already hit ad agencies like independent San Francisco-based advertising shop Venables, Bell & Partners and IPG agencies Huge and R/GA.
