About F1 In Schools
F1 In Schools is a program run in Ireland by the Irish Computer Society and Discover Science & Engineering, and was set up to encourage students to take engineering as a career path. F1 In Schools really is a scaled down version of the real thing. Imagine designing and making a 1/20th scale F1 Car capable of speeds of over 110 km/h, using 3D Computer Aided Drawing Software, and advanced machining processes, raising sponsorship for the team, and marketing team products. It really is like being part of a miniature professional F1 team. F1 In Schools gives secondary students across the country a chance to fulfill their need for speed, and represent their schools and possibly country in a major competition recognized worldwide to find the best engineered and fastest car in Ireland and the World.
