Newington F1 in Schools is heading to the F1 in Schools World Titles in Abu Dhabi this year and we need your help!

This may be the one and only chance to be the World Champions in the world’s largest Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) competition and with the mantra “we are too good not to be better”, Year 9 boys Evan Favos (9/ME), Roger Li (9/FL), Sebastian Hodge (9/ME) and Anton Maraldo (9/ME) this is our chance to get them through to the finishing line.

In March the boys came first in the Development Class at the Australian National Finals. They earned a spot as an international collaboration team in Abu Dhabi for the World Championships in November this year. The Newington team will be collaborating with a team from a girls school in Dunfermline, Scotland. Due to the difference in time zones, it has been challenging, but nothing our boys can’t overcome.

The competition is not just a 20 m drag race but also requires the team to build a pit stop booth display, portfolio, eight minute verbal presentation and scrutineer from industry experts to demonstrate their engineering knowledge. We are looking forward to catching up with Daniel Ricciardo and the F1 teams from all over the world this year but before we can do this, we need your help.
