F1 in Schools

A group of students from Years 8-10 have been taking part in an exciting and challenging program that combines STEM education with real-world racing experience. The F1 in Schools program is a global competition that invites students to design and build their own CO2-powered race cars, then compete against teams.

Over the last couple of weeks, the participating students have been busy in the workshop, using their woodworking skills to shape and refine their cars. This is just one step in a long process that involves engineering, design, and marketing, as teams work to create the fastest, most innovative, and most appealing cars possible.

The F1 in Schools program provides students with the opportunity to learn about engineering, physics and aerodynamics, as well as teamwork, project management, and marketing. They work together to brainstorm ideas, develop designs and create prototypes; all while following strict technical regulations and meeting tight deadlines.

This week students will be racing their cars on our race track to test their builds and will continue developing and refining their CAD car designs.
