Course Overview
Unleash your inner innovator in this high speed challenge where science, strategy and creativity collide. In this course, you will explore the technology and decision making behind Formula 1, investigating how factors such as aerodynamics, materials, data analysis and race strategy influence performance. Thinking like an engineer and strategist, you will analyse complex systems, test ideas and make informed decisions under pressure. You will design and develop your own F1 team, making purposeful choices about car design, branding, performance optimisation and race tactics. Students will also participate in an excursion to the Motor Museum of Western Australia to explore high-performance vehicles up close and investigate how automotive design has evolved over time. This course extends your thinking by challenging you to apply scientific and mathematical concepts, evaluate competing solutions and innovate within real world constraints to maximise performance.
