ABOUT THE F1 IN SCHOOLS COMPETITION

STEM education has gained significant momentum in recent years, with educators and industry professionals recognizing its importance in preparing students for the challenges of the modern world. One exciting initiative that combines STEM principles with real-world application is F1 in Schools. F1 in Schools is an international STEM competition that challenges students to design, build, and race miniature Formula One cars. It brings the thrill of Formula One racing into the classroom, allowing students to experience the excitement of engineering, aerodynamics, and teamwork firsthand. The competition requires teams to utilize various STEM concepts. They must design their cars using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, applying engineering principles to optimize speed, aerodynamics, and stability. Students delve into the physics of motion, studying forces, momentum, and energy transfer. They use 3D printing and machining techniques to manufacture their car parts, applying principles of material science and technology. In addition to the technical aspects, F1 in Schools emphasizes teamwork, project management, and marketing. Each team must create a business plan, secure sponsorships, and develop a marketing campaign to promote their brand and car. Students learn about budgeting, communication, and problem-solving, acquiring skills that extend beyond STEM.

Participation in F1 in Schools – 2023 season

Due to the successes and our satisfaction with the participation of F1 in Schools for last year's season, our team decided to participate in it again. With more strength, ambition and bigger plans, we started working for 4 months earlier with equal engagement of all team members. Designing the new model – car, request for sponsorships, rebranding, taking care of environment are one of the many activities that our team undertakes this year season. As a non-profit organization, our sponsorships and financial funds are diverted to one goal – winning the gold and representing our country in the best light.
