What is F1 in Schools?

F1 in Schools is a worldwide STEM competition for students. Teams design and manufacture miniature cars using advanced CAD/CAM tools, powering them with CO₂ canisters to race down a track.

Who are we?

We are Impetus - the reigning regional champions, representing the senior division of Kingswood School. Our team comprises students from Year 12 and 13.

Our Mission

We aim to not only excel in the design and racing aspects of the F1 in Schools competition but also to inspire and champion STEM education within our community. Our objective is to consistently innovate, learn, and push the boundaries of what's possible in this arena.
