F1 IN SCHOOLS

F1 in Schools is a brilliant gateway into the world of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). The project is the ultimate test of skill, management and organisation. It is hard work but is very much worth it.

The competition is the perfect opportunity to gain valuable life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking- it is an opportunity to showcase your skills in a creative and entertaining way

In the competition, teams of students create their own Formula One cars using computeraided design software and then manufacture the cars using a variety of materials, including foam and 3D printed plastic. The teams are then judged on their car's speed, design, and engineering, as well as their marketing and presentation skills.

F1 in Schools also includes a strong educational component, with students learning about aerodynamics, design, engineering, and manufacturing as they create their cars The competition is divided into regional, national, and international stages, with winning teams from each level advancing to the next.

On the 20th April 2023, 2 year 10 teams will travel to Aston University for race day. My team is called ELOI Swift Motorsport, named after our sponsor – ELOI Consulting. Together, as 6 members, we aim to represent our school as a competitive team in the Regional Finals 2023 and to reach the national level

We have visited Aston university twice, and helped to machine several designs before testing them on a real half-length track. With the prototypes, we used the most positive areas to inspire our final car, which is why I believe we are in for a shot at fastest car.

Since day one, the whole team have been organised and motivated It has been key to our success and critical thinking The competition will be a lot of fun and we can not wait to see how we do!

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master, Mr Jones, and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. However, soon the animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.
