4 F1 IN SCHOOLS CHALLENGE THE VISION F1 in Schools is a multi-disciplinary challenge in which teams of students from years 5 12 use industry style technologies to Design, Analyse, Collaborate, Make, Test and Race miniature gas powered balsa wood F1 Cars. The program s main objective is to help change perceptions of design, engineering, manufacturing, science and technology by creating a fun and exciting learning environment for young people to develop an informed view about careers in these domains. F1 in Schools is rapidly realising its potential of becoming a truly global educational program that raises awareness of Engineering, Technology, Science and Maths and is currently operating in more than 34 countries around the world. The F1 in Schools Technology Challenge in Australia is an initiative of the Re-Engineering Australia Foundation Ltd. (REA), a not for profit public company established to raise the awareness of modern engineering design and manufacturing careers through exciting initiatives targeting young Australians. About the Re-Engineering Australia Foundation: REA runs a series of career intervention programs which are aimed at increasing the self-efficacy of students toward careers involving Maths, Science and Engineering. All intervention programs are based on Action Learning and include a strong focus on improving communication and presentation skills, interacting with industry and using the best technology available in the world. REA relies on the use of heroes and role models to provide social influence to inspire students towards careers that build a nation. REA aims to excite Technology Teachers and raise the profile and importance of Technology Education throughout the broader Australian Community. Exciting Teachers Exciting Students! REA encourages students to take on and be the best in the world! REA is an F1 in Schools strategic founding global partner. One Australian School participating in F1 in Schools using REA supported technologies qualifies for the major prize, a trip to the represent Australia at the F1 in Schools World Finals! An Australian Team, The Stingers, a group of Year 7 and 8 boys from Trinity Grammar School, Kew in Melbourne were World Champions in 2006 and again in 2011 an Australian Team, the PentaGliders from Brooks High School, Tasmania were crowned World Champions. Australian teams have finished 2 nd in the World in 2008, 2009 and P a g e

5 F1 IN SCHOOLS WHAT S IT ALL ABOUT? The F1 in Schools Technology Challenge is open to all Australian Students from school years 5-12, to design and manufacture CO 2 powered model F1 style racing cars using the latest industry design and manufacturing technologies and processes. Student teams from schools across Australia will compete to determine the best team of designers, collaborators, innovators and the fastest car. Teams may compete in School, Regional and State finals, for the chance of being invited to the F1 in Schools Australian National Final. The best Australian Teams are invited to attend the World Finals. The Challenge has been specially formulated so that all or some of its outcomes can be incorporated into any High Schools Technology, Design, Science or even Maths curriculum. CAD/CAM, CNC and VR systems are common place in industry, which is why it is so important for the engineers, designers and manufacturers of the future to come to grips with them early. These technologies are fundamentally based on science and maths and provide for a fun action learning approach to this curriculum. Students using CAD/CAM, CNC and VR technologies are able to create projects using the same technologies used by Industry of all scales. REA provides schools with Best in the World technology solutions, a tool box for student excellence! CAD (Computer Aided Design) encourages students to think, explore and visualise their ideas in threedimensions, using features such as curve modelling and surface rendering, alongside more traditional orthographic presentations. CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) packages, such as QuickCAM 3D and QuickCAM Pro, create an environment where CAD designs can be developed and prepared for automated manufacturing processes. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) packages, such as VWT (Virtual Wind Tunnel) allow computer models of designs to be analysed with regard to aerodynamic efficiency, then modified to further increase performance before anything is physically manufactured. VR (Virtual Reality) packages allow complicated machining and processing tasks to be practised in real time and total safety. Packages such as Denford VR Milling allow CNC machining to be experienced, even when you don t actually own the real CNC hardware. Team Collaboration and Video Conferencing systems such as Cisco WebEx allow students to solve problems in live and offline forums, collaborate by sharing and developing files on-line and visiting manufacturing centres without having to leave their classroom. CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machines, such as the Denford Routers, allow processed CAD models to be manufactured to high degrees of accuracy, fit and finish. Desktop sized Wind Tunnels and Smoke Visualisation allow students to get hands on with the science of aerodynamics and motion. 4 P a g e

6 CURRICULUM FIT There are many ways that the Challenge may be integrated into the curriculum.

Teachers should consider including their whole class, forming multiple teams of 3-5 students to work on designs and project components in their own teams. 5 P a g e

7 DESIGN BRIEF You are a Formula One Team commissioned to design, construct and race a model of the fastest straight line speed Formula One Car of the Future. There are special design specifications and racing regulations for this controlled racing category and parameters you must work within. These are detailed in the 2012/2013 Rules and Regulations document downloadable from To succeed in the challenge you will need to work with modern design and manufacturing technologies like CAD (Computer Aided Design) software and CNC machines. You will also need to form one or more industry partnerships, to get advice or even assistance with manufacturing components not possible within your school. If you enter as a Professional or Development Class team, collaboration and industry links are a very important part of the challenge marking criteria and your whole design for manufacture process will need to be documented, along with team marketing and promotion. Just like in Industry, to design and manufacture your project, you will need to work as part of a team of 3 5* students. Ideally, a main team role should be allocated to each person. However, you may have to double up on some roles and responsibilities, depending on the team size. * Note: Cadet Class teams consist of 1-3 students. There are many tasks that must be mastered, in order to design, manufacture, prepare and finally enter a car for racing, making TEAMWORK vital to your success. READ AND KNOW THE RULES! The following roles are suggestions to help you get started: DESIGN ENGINEER This person is responsible for the styling and aerodynamic performance of the car design. The Design Engineer will work with 3D CAD and need to liaise with the Manufacturing Engineer through the use of CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) software to ensure ideas can be realised. The Design Engineer will need to have a good understanding of the rules and regulations. RESOURCES MANAGER This person manages time, materials and equipment for design and making the cars. They could also be responsible for developing ideas regarding team marketing and industry links. The Resources Manager will need to liaise with all members to check tasks are progressing on time and offer additional help, if needed. MANUFACTURING ENGINEER This person is usually responsible for the construction of the car and in particular the CNC manufacture of the car body. The Manufacturing Engineer will need to liaise with the Design Engineer to report and help solve issues with manufacturing of the car. TEAM MANAGER This person would be responsible for managing the team, ensuring that all resources and team members are ready for competition. The Team Manager works closely with other members, guiding and implementing management strategies, team meetings etc. whilst offering assistance where necessary. GRAPHIC DESIGNER Alistair Smith, Design Engineer Redline Racing with Formula 1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton 2009 World Championship, London This person would be responsible for producing graphical concepts for team identity as applied across the project, including layout of documents and displays, together with the final graphic renderings and any additional team marketing materials. 6 P a g e

8 HOW TO OBTAIN SUPPORTED SOFTWARE, HARDWARE & CONSUMABLES The Re-Engineering Australia Foundation supports and supplies a range of software, hardware and consumables required to participate in the F1 in Schools Challenge at any level.

Schools can use CAD modelling packages they have available as long as they can generate NC codes. This can be achieved by creating an appropriate model and saving it as an.stl file which can be read by QuickCAM Pro. MANUFACTURING, TEST AND RACE CENTRES If you do not have access to manufacture, test and race equipment in school we have a National network of school partners around Australia that can help. To find out more about our accredited manufacturing, test and race centre s please contact REA on or us via contact@rea.org.au. If you are interested in becoming a certified manufacturing centre please contact us via contact@rea.org.au. Manufacturing Centres can produce your cars for you if you do not have the appropriate equipment at your school. Our School Manufacturing Centre partners are equipped with CNC hardware (such as a Denford Router) that allows remote machining of your F1 car designs. Simply contact your nearest or any Manufacturing Centre to discuss your requirements, then post, or video conference across your CAD design or CNC file. The Manufacturing Centre will then arrange for the production and return shipment of your F1 car design model for a very reasonable fee. In some cases, Manufacturing Centres may cater for visits by groups of students, wishing to experience the machining processes first hand. Many schools are also prepared to host visits by other schools to use their test and race systems. Some will even loan the equipment out! 7 P a g e

9 COMPETITION CLASSES Eligibility for participation in National and World Final competitions requires all team members to be enrolled as full-time primary or secondary students at the time of the event. There are three competition classes in the 2012/2013 Season: 1. Cadet Class (Yrs 5 12) NEW from 2012! A simplified project open exclusively to first time entering students with a restricted pathway to state level competitions. Students may only participate in this class once. 2. Development Class (Yrs 5-9) For first time entering students or those who have participated in the Cadet Class. Students may only participate in this class once. This class provides a collaboration team pathway to the World Final. 3. Professional Class (Yrs 5-12) Open to all students but usually only entered by students in Yrs 5-9 who have competed in a previous year. The National Champion Professional Team will represent Team Australia at the World Final. A student s school year group is determined from the year group the student is in during the year of regional and state competition. This competition is open to all Australian School students. Interschool collaboration teams are eligible. The following class definitions must be read in conjunction with the 2012/2013 Season s Rules and Regulations document downloadable from 1. CADET CLASS This category is strictly only open to individuals or teams of up to 3 students from Years 5-12 who are all participating in the F1 in Schools for the very first time. Teachers and the actual school can have participated in previous years. There are two independent divisions at the State level of competition: Junior Division All Students in Years 5 to 9 only Senior Division At least one student in the team is in Year 10, 11 or 12. NOTE WELL: The simplified requirements and rules for this class are intended to reduce the cost and complexity for participating teams and make the project easier to integrate into current school curriculum or run as an extra-curricular activity. Individuals or teams entering this class will not be required to submit the full range of project elements applicable to the Development and Professional classes. The requirements of this class area as follows: Project Elements 1. Submission of one car only (designed in 3D CAD) in accordance with the current Rules and Regulations with paint or optional Estapol type finish. 2.

Teacher assessment/judging of A2 poster In 2012, this class will be offered at Regional and State Final level competitions. At regional and state final events, the attendance of students registered in this category is optional. In lieu of attendance, students may send their project elements to the event organiser to be received no later than one week prior to competition day. Students who opt to attend finals events are to wear school uniform. State champions in this class MAY be invited to display their project at the 2013 National Final. This modified class of competition does not have a pathway to the World Finals. 8 P a g e

10 2. DEVELOPMENT CLASS This category is strictly only open to teams of students from Years 5-9 who have either participated in the Cadet Class previously or competing in F1 in Schools for the very first time. Teachers and the actual school can have participated in previous years. NOTE WELL there are certain restrictions placed on this class of competition to reduce the cost and complexity for participating teams. However, teams entering this class will be required to submit the full range of project elements as outlined in the current Rules and Regulations document. At regional level, teams must wear school uniform and propose a team uniform design in their portfolio. This design may then be developed and worn if progressing to State level and beyond. The overall Champions of this category will win the Major Development Class Prize, the right to represent Australia as part of an International Collaboration Team competing at the 2013 F1 in Schools World Finals. Australian Development Class Champion team members will form an International Collaboration Team with students from another country. Using modern collaboration tools, students will work across distance to design, analyse, make and test a joint entry for the 2013 F1 in Schools World Finals! REA will liaise with other in-country co-ordinators to assist in the formation of the Collaboration Team. International Collaboration teams must consist of six official competing team members. Each Country part of the collaboration team can have a maximum of four and a minimum of two official competing members. Most collaboration teams will consist of three students from each country. Non-competing members of the original National Final team may be invited to attend and participate in team support roles. 3. PROFESSIONAL CLASS There are two independent divisions at the State level of competition: PRO Junior Division All Students in Years 5 to 9 only PRO Senior Division At least one student in the team is in Year 10, 11 or 12. There is ONE overall Professional Class division at the National Final level. Teams competing in this category must adhere to all rules and judging criteria as outlined in the F1 in Schools 2012/2013 Season Rules & Regulations document. The Champion Pro Junior and Pro Senior teams from each State Final will be eligible to compete at the Australian National Final. The National Champion Professional Team (inclusive of all Junior and Senior teams), will win the Major Prize for this class - the right to represent Australia at the 2013 F1 in Schools World Finals. COMPETITIONS F1 in Schools is a Global Challenge with over 34 Countries participating from all over the world. Australia is one of the Program Founding Partners and has enjoyed great success at the international level. Australian Teams have been World Champions, place regularly in podium positions and have won category awards including the prestigious Best Engineered Design Award at all but one World Final event. Becoming F1 in Schools champions at any level is about more than just having the fastest car. To succeed you must address all assessment and marking criteria as outlined in a separate document. Appropriate levels of attention and time must be dedicated to each of the criteria, considering the mark values shown for each key performance indicator. Becoming champions is about gaining the maximum TOTAL score possible. The Competition process can be at five levels: 1. School Competitions 2. Regional Finals 3. State / Territory Finals 4. National Finals 5. World Finals Teams progressing from one level to the next are permitted and encouraged to further develop and refine their designs and associated entry assets. Check for updated event dates and locations. 9 P a g e

11 1. SCHOOL COMPETITIONS: (May July) Recommended Minimum School Competition Project Inclusions o o o o 1 or 2 completed cars per team Portfolio sections or poster as defined by teacher Industry links or related study Verbal presentation Teachers choose some or all of the Challenge Marking Criteria and set these as the school based assessment criteria for determining their best school teams. Racing is the highlight and we encourage teachers to run their own school based race-off. This is a great opportunity to showcase the project to other students and the rest of the school community. Schools may also choose to invite existing or potential industry partners to visit or even participate as a judge. Teachers are encouraged to award outright and category awards. Industry partners often agree to sponsor prizes. Why not create a school perpetual trophy? REA has a template certificates available for school competitions. Generally speaking the best 2 to 3 top scoring teams will represent their school at a Regional Final. However this can vary from region to region and you should liaise with your Regional Coordinator to confirm this. 2. REGIONAL FINALS: (July August) The Stingers had modest, yet effective beginnings Victoria University Regional Final. Recommended Minimum Project Entry Inclusions o 1 to 2 completed cars per team (1 for Cadet Class) o Poster (Cadet Class) or 12 page portfolio (Development Class) or 20 page portfolio (Professional Class) o Basic rule and regulation compliance o Team wear school uniform but proposed future team uniform design in Portfolio. o Pit display design proposed. (n/a Cadet Class) o Verbal presentation optional (n/a for Cadet Class) At many regional events, teams are only required to present project work to satisfy a reduced number of assessment criteria. Your Regional Final Coordinator can provide further information regarding this. Teams competing at Regional Finals must be registered with REA and have a team entry kit. You will need to check our website or contact@rea.org.au to locate details related to your nearest regional final and make contact with the coordinating teacher. Whilst it s ideal for students to attend regional finals, we recognise this is not always possible.
