Why was F1 in Schools introduced?F1 in Schools exists to raise the profile of engineering across our schools and colleges.CAD/CAM, CNC and VR systems are now common place in the manufacturing industry, which is why it is so important for the engineers and designers of the future to get to grips with it early on. Students using CAD/CAM, CNC and VR software are able to design, test and manufacture their own creations using a computer. From September 2000, the teaching of CAD/CAM became a compulsory part of the National Curriculum.

Primarily, F1 in Schools provides students with an ideal opportunity to experience the very latest developments in manufacturing technology:

• CAD (Computer Aided Design) encourages students to think, explore and visualise their ideas in three-dimensions, using features such as complex curve modelling and surface rendering, alongside more traditional orthographic presentations. Packages such as SolidWorks include many features developed around real industrial applications. Schools can register through F1 in Schools for free copies of SolidWorks, or use design systems already in place at their schools.

• CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) packages, create an environment where CAD designs can be developed and prepared for automated manufacturing processes. Most CAM packages include a wizard based interface that allows toolpaths to easily be plotted over complex 3D shapes.

• CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) packages, such as VRWT (Virtual Reality Wind Tunnel) allow computer models of car designs to be analysed, with regard to aerodynamic efficiency, then modified to further increase performance.

• VR (Virtual Reality) packages allow complicated machining and processing tasks to be practised in real time and total safety. Packages allow CNC machining to be experienced, even when you don’t actually own the real CNC hardware!

• Video Conferencing systems allow students to solve problems in live conferences with experienced professionals, share and develop files on-line and visit manufacturing centres without having to leave their classroom.

• CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machines, such as the Denford MicroRouter, allow processed CAD drawings to be manufactured to high degrees of accuracy, fit and finish.

2008-09


These notes are included for schools and colleges wishing to apply for testing centre status.

To locate your nearest testing centre, please refer to the tools page of the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk)

Test Centre Criteria• Budget for buying the equipment.

• Centre to be set up with specified equipment.

• Access time for smoke and/or wind tunnel.


• Able/willing provision for technical support to feeder schools/colleges.

RoleYour role will be to co-ordinate the testing of students car designs from feeder schools and colleges, when they visit your test centre.

It is more than likely that most test centres will also have manufacturing and/or a race centre accreditation. Therefore, visits could include experience of manufacturing and /or racing their car designs.

Equipment & Access TimeYour centre will need:

• A Smoke Tunnel - Visually demonstrates aerodynamic concepts using a smoke generator and clear acrylic wind tunnel. Includes 1 litre of smoke generating fluid.

• And/or a Wind Tunnel - Allows students to conduct aerodynamic tests on their CO

² cars. The display shows lift and drag value

acting on the car. Wind tunnel air flow speed - 40m.p.h.

Access time will be at your own discretion but adequate provision must be made for timetabling of school/college visits to the facility.

Access TimeYou will need to ensure that your equipment has free access timetabled for the car tests to be performed. In this respect, we recommend adoption of a booking system for the use of your equipment.



Stage One – Initial Registration.Sign up to our email news letter via our website www.f1inschools.co.uk. We will then send you our UP-DATE emails every month and any important News Bulletins, such as approaching deadlines. (note: you do not need to register your teams at this stage)

Stage Two – CAD/CAM Software Training.Check your school/college has access to a suitable CAD/CAM software package. Note that the software must be able to meet the design and presentation criteria outlined in the design brief, rules and regulations.Schools/Colleges/Youth Groups can apply for a copy of SolidWorks online at

www.f1inschools.co.ukDenford Limited can supply training courses on all

popular CAD Above: Students take part in a

Stage Three – Introducing the Challenge.Purchase an F1 Car Kit, containing the balsa wood block, a set of wheels, axles and some glass paper. This is the minimum that any team will need, in order to enter the competition.

Organise any interested students into teams of 3-6, positively encouraging mixed gender groups. Our comprehensive design brief can be used to introduce the challenge to students. Use our poster to generate interest at your school.Once your teams are together register for a regional final on the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk) by clicking the ‘Register Your Team’ button on the homepage. Make sure you read the challenge agreement online at www.f1inschools.co.uk.



Stage Four – Designing the car using CAD software.CAD software templates for SolidWorks and dimensions for the balsa wood blocks are downloadable from the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk). When designing your F1 racing car, bear in mind that the extreme ends of the block must be left clear for attachment of the manufacturing jig fixtures.

If you need extra support with designing the F1 racing car Denford have, in conjunction with UGS (formerly EDS), produced a Car Design and Manufacture Guide for this challenge. Further information can be found on the F1 in Schoolswebsite (www.f1inschools.co.uk).

Each team must produce a folder of work including initial ideas, design development and evidence of testing their designs. A CAD 3rd Angle Orthographic Projection of their chosen design and CAD graphic rendering of their Final F1 racing car design must also be included. Teams will also be required to complete a verbal presentation about the design and development of their Final F1 racing car design, for the Regional and National Finals.

Teams may also wish to evaluate their CAD designs, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, such as VRWT (Virtual Reality Wind Tunnel).

Access Time.You will need to ensure that your CNC machine has free access timetabled for the manufacture of these cars. Ideally, the system used would be flexible, to allow for intensive periods of manufacture. In this respect, we recommend adoption of a booking system for the use of your CNC machine.

Car Manufacturing TimesManufacturing of cars should only be allowed between April to October of each year. Each Manufacturing Centre can operate a deadline for schools and colleges requesting remote F1 car manufacture, via the postal system. Specific dates/details can be posted on the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk). All manufacturing centres should confirm machining dates and arrangements, as required, with their feeder clients.

Cost of Manufacture.The cost of manufacture for each car should be approximately £30.00.

This should include:

• Return postage.

• Manufactured balsa wood blank.

• 1 set of axles.

• 1 set of wheels.

• 2 screw eyes/plastic inserts.

• Length of small plastic tubing.

• And 1 piece of glass paper.

Each design should arrive, complete the manufacture process and be returned within 14 days, if possible. If you have problems with this, please contact the school/college to inform them of their expected delivery date.

Returning Manufactured Cars to Schools.Each car kit is supplied with F1 packaging materials, suitable for postal transit. The F1 car boxes include an area for a return address printed label.

For return delivery to schools and colleges, the finished cars must be packaged carefully, to avoid damage during transit. It is the responsibility of the manufacturing centre to ensure that the box is adequately packaged and sealed for posting.

Technical Support.



Stage Five – Design conversion using CAM software.When your students have completed their F1 racing car designs, the CAD drawings must be converted into a CNC program. The CNC program is formatted using standard G and M code language, used by CNC machines for plotting all their movement and cutting operations.

CAM software packages can be used to help automate this process.

Notice that you will probably have to create two separate CNC programs – one for cutting the right side elevation of the F1 racing car, the second for cutting the left side elevation. Alternatively, you may wish to produce a program for cutting just one side, then manually edit this program using the “mirror” command to reproduce the opposite side of your model.

Further details can be found in our separate publication - The Car Design and Make Guide.

If your school does not have any CAM software, your F1 racing car CAD drawings can be sent to a manufacturing centre where engineering trainees will create a suitable CNC program. Your local manufacturing centre can be found on the tools page of the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk).

Right: A member of Team AE discusses his work with a VIP



Cars are made using CNC machinery such as Denford’s MicroRouter, or at an F1 in Schools approved Manufacturing Centre. Your local manufacturing centre can be found from the tools page of the F in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk).

If you intend to manufacture at your school, ensure your CNC machine meets the specification required for construction. Check against items such as your machine working envelope, maximum spindle speeds, available router bits etc. by referring to both your original CAD drawings and the parameters defined in your CNC program.

You will also need to purchase or construct a jig fixture, to hold the balsa wood block during machining.

This will also make it much easier to configure any offsets, since the block can be accurately replaced in the machine working area. Remember, you will probably have to load and run a CNC program that machines one side of the car, then remove, revolve and replace the block, before loading and running the second CNC program that machines the opposite side. Offset configuration is the MOST important time to be accurate, since any mistakes at this point could easily damage your material or equipment.

If your school does not have a CNC machine, your F1 racing car CNC programs can be posted or e-mailed to a F1 in Schools approved manufacturing centre where engineering trainees will machine your designs.

You may be able to book a visit to see your designs being manufactured, or use a video conferencing system to watch any machining operations on-line. Since these conferences are live, any minor problems that could occur, or be discovered, during the manufacturing process could be solved in real time.

Stage Seven – Testing.You may decide to book a visit to a test centre, to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of your designs. All our designated test centres are equipped with smoke and/or wind tunnel hardware. Your local testing centre can be found on the tools page of the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk).

Stage Six -Manufacture

These notes are included for schools and colleges wishing to apply for manufacturing centre status.

Manufacturing Centre Criteria• Budget for buying the equipment.

• Centre to be setup with specified equipment.

• Access time for machines (schools 8hrs per week, engineering centres 20hrs per week).


• Able to organise for posting or transport of finished car bodies and car kits to feeder schools/colleges.

• Able/willing provision for technical support to feeder schools/colleges.

Your role will be to co-ordinate the manufacture of student car designs from feeder schools and colleges, within a designated period of time from receiving the car design by email, floppy disk, CD, Memory Stick or video conferencing.

Training Centres for trainee engineers are ideally suited for manufacturing cars and also provide a positive experience of engineering for both the students and the trainees. Schools can also apply for manufacturing centre accreditation, although they will have to address the time constraints and commitment required for car body production. Schools may also accept a smaller quota of cars from surrounding feeder schools for manufacture.

To qualify as a manufacturing centre you must have the following equipment, with available access time to manufacture the cars.

Your centre will need:

• A CNC milling machine or router, with the required working envelope (e.g. the Denford MicroRouter).

• An appropriate tooling package.

• Access to computers capable of interpreting the student CAD/CAM design files and driving the CNC machine systems.

• At least 1 (one) CAM software site licence.

• Facility for dust extraction, during product manufacture.

• F1 car manufacturing jigs and fixtures.

• A supply of balsa wood blanks, wheels axles and ancillary items.

• F1 packaging materials and access to a suitable postal system, for return delivery of finished car bodies and kits.

Role

To locate your nearest manufacturing centre, please refer to the tools page of the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk)

Equipment & Access Time

2008-09


• Always approach companies in a professional manner.

• Keep written proposals, such as proposals or team reports, fairly short (no more than two sides of A4 paper). Check the spelling before sending any documents.

• Practice any presentations before visiting a sponsor. Organise equipment beforehand.

• Keep presentations concise and to the point (generally no longer than 10 slides/display boards and/or no longer than 10 minutes duration).

• However, feel free to take any extra materials along to meetings. If the sponsor shows interest in a particular area, you can always expand your presentation or leave work for closer inspection.

Important Sponsorship Considerations

• Try to develop some piece of work specific to the sponsor, before you attend a meeting, such as a drawing of your car with the company logo already in position - this will impress the sponsor that you are keen to work with them.

• If a company sponsors your team, try to provide them with copies of any work, possibly even a duplicate model of your car, for display in their headquarters.

• Perhaps invite your sponsor to any events at your school or college, maybe to see your design being developed or manufactured.

• At the end of the season, always remember to thank your sponsors for their valuable support.

SponsorshipSponsorshipGetting Started 2008-09


Only a limited amount of hand finishing of the body is allowed. Any major hand finishing may result in team disqualification. This will be at the Judges discretion. We expect all F1 racing cars to be completed with a high quality paint finish, including the application of any graphics, sponsorship or liveries, where deemed appropriate.

Since only three teams per school will be allowed to enter the Regional Final, you may decide to hold your own qualifying heats to select which teams to send, to do this contact a race centre to book some track time. Each of our designated race centres is equipped with a full F1 track, CO

2 powerplants, trigger mechanisms and

timing electronics. Your local race centre can be found on the tools page of the F1 in Schools website (www.f1inschools.co.uk).

Stage Ten – Enter Teams To Compete At A Regional FinalEnter your most successful teams and their designs in your Regional Final.All schools wishing to take part in the F1 in Schools Challenge must complete and submit their team registration and read the challenge agreement online at www.f1inschools.co.uk. Any teams chosen to compete on behalf of your school must be registered by 19th October 2008. Please ensure that you enter all contact information and team information on-line. Please do not hesitate to contact the F1 in Schools team if you are having problems with the registraion process via [email protected] or on 020 7344 8449You will be informed by email when and where your Regional Final will take place, together with any specific requirements and arrangements for the event. Please ensure you confirm your intention to attend a race event at least 2 weeks before the race event date.Information regarding any race event will also be posted on the F1 in Schoolswebsite (www.f1inschools.co.uk).

Stage Eleven – Make, Test and Race.The F1 in Schools Team attends several events each year. At some events, we operate an additional “make, test and race” centre, where teams are given the opportunity to manufacture their designs. A manufacturing slot must be pre-arranged, since we can only machine a limited number of cars per day. Many schools without access to a track also use these events to test, modify and

Stage Nine – Team Selection.

Stage Eight – Finishing.



Educational ContentThis F1 in Schools Challenge is specifically aimed at secondary level students and can be taught as part of the National Curriculum for secondary level Design & Technology, engineering and manufacturing GCSE’s or as an extra curricular activity.

The challenge offers the perfect opportunity for teachers and students to explore the world of CAD/CAM/CNC and allows students to experience the entire design process from beginning to end.

Introducing the Challenge at NVQ Level.NVQ Engineering trainee apprentices are being trained in a more industrially realistic environment. The PEO assessment guidance specifically approves assessment in this situation. These evidence routes would also fit well in the framework for any of the variants of the Modern Apprenticeship.

Following completion of the F1 in Schools Challenge:

Evidence routes that could be achieved at level 1: OER 116 - Finishing surfaces by applying coatings or treatments. Evidence routes that could be achieved at level 2: OER 225 - Producing engineering drawings using computer aided

design. OER 224 - Using computer numerical controlled machines.

Where there is dialogue and collaboration between groups of students and trainee engineers, Key Skills Communication targets become achievable:

Key Skills that could be achieved at level 1: Level 1: C1.1 - Take part in a one to one discussion and a group

discussion about different, straightforward Subjects. Key Skills that could be achieved at level 2: Level 2: C2.1a - Contribute to a discussion about a

straightforward Subject.

The F1 in Schools Challenge can help achieve skills that enhance employment and career prospects. The collaboration between the schools and the training centres is the exposure of students to engineering beyond the classroom, leading to a greater awareness of engineering as a career.

Suggested Sponsorship LevelsDepending on which race meeting or final you will be attending, you may want to “pitch” your sponsorship request differently. You should explain that further sponsorship would be appreciated, if your team progresses through the (heats or sub-regional) and Regional Finals and (hopefully) all the way to the National Final, in 2009. It is important to mention this at the beginning of your negotiations!

• Level One - £50 (Developing Concepts).

Sponsorship money used for materials, paint and possibly manufacturing and testing costs.

In return, the sponsor receives their company logo placement on the F1 car and throughout the portfolio of designwork. A presentation of initial concepts would be made to sponsors. Possible press exposure with local media via own school contacts.

• Level Two - £100 (The Final Design).

Sponsorship money used for development of level one into team presentations and display work.

In return, the sponsor receives their company logo placement on the F1 car, throughout the portfolio of designwork and at any presentation events. A presentation would be made to sponsors, unveiling the final design being used in the 2008-09 Championship Season. Possible press exposure with local media via own school contacts.

• Level Three - £200 to £500 (Regional Events).

Sponsorship money used for continuing levels one and two, developing TPM (Team Marketing Product) and attending regional events.

In return, the sponsor receives their company logo placement on the F1 car, throughout the portfolio of designwork, on presentation display boards and team clothing/kit. A presentation would be made to sponsors, detailing preparation for the 2008-09 Championship Season. Possible press exposure with local and regional media.

• Level Four - £500+ (Regional, National & International Finals).

Sponsorship money used for continuing levels one to three, including any travel or accommodation expenses incurred when attending a Regional, National or International Final.

In return, the sponsor receives their company logo placement on the F1 car, throughout the portfolio of designwork, on presentation display boards and team clothing/kit. A presentation would be made to sponsors, detailing team performance in the 2008-09 Championship Season. Possible press exposure with local, regional and national media.

SponsorshipSponsorship

Sponsorship 2008-09


Sponsorship

Sponsorship ConsiderationsSponsorship is very much part of the “ethos” of Formula One. We suggest that it would be prudent of any F1 in Schools Team to seek sponsorship from a local company.

Approach One:

• Write a letter to several companies in your area, requesting sponsorship for your Formula One in Schools Team, perhaps including some background information about the challenge, your team and what the company could gain from sponsoring you.

• Follow-up the letters with a telephone call, enquiring about the letter you have sent and the possibilities of arranging a meeting. It is often much easier to “sell” your ideas to a potential sponsor, face to face.

• Prepare a presentation, using Microsoft Powerpoint, an overhead projector, or A3 boards, for use at your meeting. If you need any special equipment at your meeting (such as an OHP or projector) don’t forget to organise these beforehand.

• Be professional at all times. Judge and sponsor feedback from last season’s challenge included many positive comments, regarding the organisation, presentation and professional appearance of the F1 in Schools Teams.

• Be clear about your expectations and what the sponsors will get from their investment.

Approach Two:

• Explore potential sponsors through parents, teachers, your school/college, business or industrial links and your work experience/careers service. It may be that you can find a suitable contact through a parent, a parents friend, a parents work colleague, a teachers friend or a team members present employer.

• Ask the contact whether it would be possible to write and/or telephone the potential sponsor. Before making contact, ensure you prepare yourself thoroughly and don’t forget to mention to your potential sponsor how you became aware of their details.

• Again, it might be worth asking your contact if they could arrange a meeting for you. If this happens, always send a confirming letter to the potential sponsor, indicating that you (and members of your team) will be attending the meeting.

• Prepare a presentation, as outlined in approach one.
