Six British high school students, who will represent England in a global engineering contest, will be exhibiting their design work during the public days here at the Farnborough Airshow.
Team Colossus (Hall 4A Innovation Zone Stand D6), comprised of 15- and 16-year-old students from Robert May School in Odiham, near Farnborough, is England’s winner of the worldwide Formula One (F1) in Schools program, the world’s largest STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) competition, involving more than 20 million students in 40 countries.
The challenge involves designing a small F1 car that adheres to more than 50 specific regulations.
The group is also seeking support and sponsorship from the industry as the team members prepare for F1 in Schools World Finals in Abu Dhabi this November, taking place during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The winning team earns a trophy and scholarships.
