F1 in Schools Competition

F1 is an international STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) competition for school children aged 9-19, in which students have to design and manufacture a miniature "car" out of the official F1 Model Block, using CAD/CAM design tools. F1 in Schools Ltd is a social enterprise working with committed industry partners to provide an exciting, yet challenging educational experience, through the magnetic appeal of Formula 1. It is an educational programme that raises awareness of STEM and Formula 1 among students worldwide. This competition looks at the overall performance of teams, simultaneously promoting STEM and inculcating entrepreneurship skills in the students.

This year 44 teams participated, out of which only 15 teams qualified for the Nationals. DAIS students Hitansh Bhatt and Aarush Bharti from Class 3 B, along with three students from other schools, qualified for the Nationals, which will be held in April 2020. They also received the ‘Judges Special Award’ for their enthusiasm and being the youngest team participating in the competition.
