What is F1 in schools?

F1 In Schools is one of the largest international STEM competitions in the world, with over 17,000 schools participating in the program each year. In Australia alone, over 20 thousand students participate in this program each year. 

​

In the engineering side of the F1 in schools completion, it's focused on designing and manufacturing a miniature F1 car. The goal is to make the fastest lap time possible. The car is designed using software such as Fusion360 and made by using CAD/CAM design tools.

 

On the enterprise side of the competition, students’ goal is to develop a team identity (a team name, logo and slogans), produce a detailed portfolio, gain sponsors and create multiple social media for media exposure.
