Students of the 10th grade presented their Projects – Case Studies. The presentations, which related to scientific issues, were also attended by students of the 9th grade, who learnt new things and had the opportunity to get a taste of the Project course, as they, themselves, will be taking it in the future. Of all the Projects, F1 in Schools is based on a different philosophy than that of the Case Studies. Specifically, the students work on the construction of an F1 car to scale, which is promoted by a gas cartridge. As part of the Project, they combine engineering, sophisticated computer design programs, management and the search for sponsors to finance the entire project.
