F1^TM in Schools

F1 in Schools is an exciting STEM challenge for students from the age of 9 to 19yrs, and gives a taster into the world of motorsport!  Groups of 3 to 6 students (a school can register up to three teams) become their very own Formula 1 team, and take part in a competition to create a miniature car using CAD/CAM design tools.  Each student will assign themselves a role within the team, and be responsible for the design and manufacture of the car, which is powered by a CO2 cartridge, and also be responsible for fundraising, marketing, sponsorship, and so much more!

The competition is run globally, and sees teams competing at a regional and national level, with the winners competing in a global grand final.
