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.

In Week 8, students had the opportunity to race their cars on our race track to test their builds against other students. This learning was highly valuable as we were able to discuss why some cars performed better than others and gave students ideas on how they might refine their designs. 

Our finalists for the races were:

• Loughlan Go
• Alex La Guidara
• Isaiah Pineda 
• Dominic Filipe

With Loughlan receiving the championship for the day!

We would like to commend the students for their final designs and we look forward to seeing how this group continues to improve their ideas next term!
