**July 17, 2013 – London**
Today marks an exciting milestone for the global education community as Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a leader in 3D design software, has teamed up with F1 in Schools to give all participating students and schools access to their extensive portfolio of 3D design tools absolutely free. This collaboration opens doors for millions of young minds across 40 countries who are part of the F1 in Schools program, where they design scale models of futuristic Formula One cars.
Andrew Denford, the visionary founder and chairman of F1 in Schools, expressed his enthusiasm: "Having Autodesk join forces with us is fantastic news as we aim to expand our reach and encourage more schools to participate. This partnership is a game-changer, allowing us to break down barriers and make advanced design tools accessible to everyone."
Autodesk will equip these young innovators with cutting-edge tools that simulate real-world design processes, enabling them to visualize their creations virtually before constructing them from balsa wood. "We’re thrilled to collaborate with F1 in Schools," said Chris Bradshaw, Autodesk's Chief Marketing Officer. "Watching kids as young as nine use professional-grade software to refine their designs is truly inspiring. We hope this alliance fosters a lifelong passion for creativity and innovation."
The F1 in Schools initiative challenges teams of three to six students aged 9 to 19 to form their own fictional Formula One teams. Their mission? To design, build, and race the fastest miniature Formula One cars possible—a task requiring both technical skill and creative flair. These 21-centimeter-long models are crafted from balsa blocks and powered by compressed air cylinders. Teams present their projects at regional finals, showcasing everything from physical displays to detailed presentations, culminating in high-speed races on a 20-meter track.
Winners at the regional level advance to national competitions, with ultimate victors traveling to the F1 in Schools World Finals in Austin, Texas. There, they compete against international teams for prestigious awards, including the Bernie Ecclestone World Champions trophy and scholarships to City University London.
This landmark announcement took place at the historic Savoy Place in London, home to the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). For further details about this groundbreaking partnership, visit www.f1inschools.com.
