Our partner organisations, universities and third-level colleges are a key part of the team that makes F1 in Schools such an enjoyable and educative experience for second-level students in Ireland. Thank You!
A number of third-level colleges and universities around Ireland are making their facilities available to teams competing in F1 in Schools.
When each team has finalised the design specifications of its F1 racer using CAD/CAM programs, it passes the software files to its designated college or university.
Using sophisticated CNC systems, the colleges transform the designs into actual, 3D balsa wood racers, which they then return to the team for final finishing and decoration.
For more information about this process see the Make section of our Tour.
