Kirkcudbright Academy

Kirkcudbright Academy in Dumfries & Galloway will set up a new initiative using the F1 in Schools platform. Students will work as a team on the design, analysis, manufacture, and testing of a model F1 Car. Students will take part in real life CAD/CAM activities as they design and analyse the car on the computer, test aerodynamics through CFD analysis, and manufacture component parts by downloading their designs to CAM devices such as 3D Printers and CNC Routers. The culmination will see teams race against each other followed by a presentation describing the process which will be judged by invited guests.
