| F1 Challenge
The F1 Challenge is open
to middle and high school level students worldwide.
F1 team members learn and work in CAD, CAM, and CNC
programs as they perform various activities at each
phase of a five-step process to design, analyze, make,
test and race a 1/20th scale F1 car. USA teams may face
an elimination event at the state level, in order to
qualify for participation in the national challenge,
which takes place each year at TSA’s national
conference.
In 2008, the national TSA conference will
take place in Orlando, Florida from June 28th –July
2nd . Following the national competition, the winning
team has the opportunity to compete in the F1 in Schools
World Championship, in which as many as 20 countries may
be represented.
Participation in the USA F1 Challenge
involves an annual team fee of $150. This fee covers team
registration and all items in the F1 Challenge Kit (F1
rules book, two car kits, free software options, etc.).
If you have students who would like to work together as
a F1 team, complete the F1 Challenge Agreement Form and
fax or mail it along with the payment to TSA.
