🏎️🏁 STEM Racing Challenge at St Andrews College!
Our talented students from Years 7–10 recently put their skills to the test as they took part in the STEM Racing Challenge Regional Competition, hosted at St Andrews College!
Inspired by the exciting world of Formula 1, our teams applied their knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to design, analyse, manufacture and race their very own model F1 cars. Using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and a block of balsa wood, students brought their ideas to life before putting their cars to the ultimate test on the track! 💨
The challenge extended far beyond racing, with students developing valuable skills in engineering, aerodynamics, design, manufacturing, communication, teamwork and problem-solving. Teams also produced an engineering drawing and presentation materials to showcase their design journey to the judging panel.
We are incredibly proud of all our students for stepping outside their comfort zones, embracing the challenge and representing St Andrews College with enthusiasm and determination. Competitions like these are about so much more than the final result—they are an opportunity to learn, grow, innovate and work together. 🌟
Congratulations to all of our STEM Racing students on a fantastic effort and a valuable learning experience! 👏💙
