Formula One Technology Challenge
F1 in Schools, the Formula One Technology Challenge, is an engineering and design action-learning project for students, implemented in high schools around the world.

Each year, student teams progress through a series of regional, state and national finals, with the best teams from each country competing for the F1 in Schools World Champions title. Australia is a world-leader in the F1 in Schools program, with an enviable history of success.

Teams of 3-5 students from grades 5-12 use industry level, 3-dimensional CAD/CAM and simulation technologies to design, analyse, test, manufacture and race miniature CO2 powered, balsa wood Formula 1 cars.

The project was established to generate excitement and raise awareness of careers, trades and professions related to science, math, design, engineering and manufacturing, as well as teaching students valuable social, employability and technical skills enabling them to 'take on the world'.
