Kimbolton School - F1 in Schools Competition

Swift Aircraft is involved in the F1 in schools competition - we sponsored a team of sixth form students from Kimbolton school for the 2019 event and have started working with a group of students from UTCN for the 2020 competition. 

The F1 in Schools project is one of the biggest STEM in schools initiatives in the world and it’s been an honor to be part of it. The fact that F1 in schools includes artistic creativity and marketing as a major part of the judging criteria is also a big positive, as TWF Solutions, sister company to Swift Aircraft, forms an important part of the Swift group, and the significance of these disciplines is too often disregarded.
​
F1 in Schools is an international STEM competition in which students must design and manufacture a miniature car out of the official F1 Model Block using computer engineering design tools. The cars are powered by CO2 cartridges and attached to a track by a nylon wire.  The teams are judged on the design and speed of the car together with their accompanying portfolio and presentation. The main objective of the competition is to help change the perceptions of science, technology, engineering and maths by creating a fun and exciting learning environment for young people to develop an informed view about careers in these sectors.
