Help Fund Our F1 in Schools Team echo_nc

F1 in Schools is a fantastic extracurricular STEM opportunity for young people like our small team to get noticed in the early days of our careers. It involves us putting together a team, seeking funding, designing our team's logo and PR materials, before even thinking about designing a car and building prototypes. We are in the fortunate position of our college being able to buy us a full-scale track that we can test our designs on, as well as the suite of machines needed to manufacture these incredible cars. However, there are strict regulations we need to follow, similar to real life racing regulations, which keep us on our toes. 

Our team comprises of six people, all of whom are currently studying our level 3 in Mechanical Engineering. We have our Team Leader (Tom), our Design Engineer (Dan), our Manufacturing Engineer (Sam), our Graphic Designer (Jacob), our Financial Manager (Will) and our Sponsorship and Marketing Manager (Ebony). All of us have a passion for motorsport which is what led us to sign up for the competition.

During the competition we will compete against teams from around the world to compete, you can win CREST awards through the competition, last year the winners were also awarded a full bursary scholarship to UCL Mechanical Engineering and an exclusive Singapore Grand Prix experience.

Our team would love to have you us with whatever you can, since it is a self-funded competition, we need to budget for things such as materials, uniform, equipment, transportation, and even international travel if we make it to the international finals.

Below is a link to our team Instagram account. On our Instagram you will see a few photos of some prototypes that we have been developing, we were using these to see what type of shape and size we would need to make the cars. We also have footage from the event at Northampton University in case you did not get a chance to see us in action.

We desperately need funds to help us buy materials to build and design our cars as well as to get to the competitions as well.

We would deeply appreciate any size of donation, from as little as £1, anything helps us reach our goal!!
