The F1 in Schools project was held over three weekends at King’s, and attended by 24 pupils from three partner schools.
F1 in Schools’ main objective is to help change the perceptions of science, technology, engineering and maths by creating a fun and exciting learning environment for young people to develop an informed view about careers in engineering, Formula 1, science, marketing and technology.
This opportunity was targeted at students in year 7 and 8 in all partnership schools.

The pupils worked in mixed groups to design and manufacture a miniature car out of the official F1 Model Block using CAD/CAM design principles. The cars were powered by CO₂ cartridges and are attached to a track by a nylon wire.
The final session involved each group pitching for sponsorship before hitting the track for the big race!
