HyperBolt of Noida' Lotus Valley in Race for Top Podium Finish at F1 in Schools
In
F1 Racing, the difference between finishing First and Second can be a matter of
milliseconds. And the F1 in Schools’s STEM Challenge is no different. Teams
from schools across India recently participated in the competition’s regional
championships. Spanning ages between Nine and 19, the participating teams put
their designs to test and flaunted the inner workings of their cars to a panel
of eminent judges.
The
main objective behind the competition is to change the perceptions of science,
technology, engineering and mathematics. As an enterprise that works with industry
partners to provide an exciting yet challenging educational experience, F1 in
Schools has allowed a team of three young boys to completely change their
lives.
HyperBolt
a F1 in Schools team from Lotus Valley International School in Noida comprises
three young minds: Aryan, Adwait and Siddharth. Given a chance to design and
build miniature, compressed air powered future car projects, the students
deployed CAD/CAM software to collaborate, design, analyse, manufacture, test
and race the miniatures. Besides learning the challenges and benefits of
cutting edge technology, the team also had to raise sponsorship and manage
budgets, thereby learning important life and professional skills.
Their
hard work and dedication finally paid off when the team won the Championship
trophy at the North India Regional. The team has been promoted to the National
Championships which functions as a conduit for raw talent to showcase their
designs. You can catch all the action virtually on F1 in Schools’s social media
pages as the competitions are now being held virtually.
