**London, July 17, 2013**
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a leader in 3D design software, has teamed up with **F1 in Schools**, a global initiative aimed at inspiring young minds through the excitement of Formula 1, to provide students and schools participating in the program with free access to Autodesk's comprehensive 3D design software suite. Reaching over 20 million students across 40 countries, **F1 in Schools** challenges participants to design futuristic scale-model Formula One cars using innovative techniques and technologies. As the official software partner, Autodesk is committed to fostering creativity and innovation among the next generation of engineers and designers.
Andrew Denford, founder and chairman of **F1 in Schools**, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: "Having Autodesk on board strengthens our mission to expand the program globally and remove any barriers that might prevent schools from joining us. By combining our resources, we can ensure that more students have access to cutting-edge tools that spark their curiosity and passion for STEM fields."
Through this partnership, Autodesk will equip students, educators, and schools with powerful design, visualization, and simulation tools. These resources allow participants to virtually test and refine their race car designs before constructing physical models out of balsa wood. According to Chris Bradshaw, Autodesk's Chief Marketing Officer, "This collaboration opens doors for students worldwide to experiment with advanced digital tools, much like professional engineers do. We hope this experience inspires them to pursue careers in design and engineering."
The **F1 in Schools** program is more than just a competition—it’s an immersive learning journey where teams of three to six students form virtual racing teams. They design, manufacture, and race compressed-air-powered miniature Formula One cars measuring 21 cm in length. Teams showcase their projects at regional competitions, presenting both their technical achievements and creative concepts. Winners advance to national championships, culminating in the prestigious **F1 in Schools World Finals** held annually in Austin, Texas. Here, international teams vie for the coveted **Bernie Ecclestone World Champions Trophy** and exclusive scholarships to institutions like City University London.
This landmark agreement was unveiled during an event hosted at the **Savoy Place** in London, home to the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). For further details about the partnership, visit [www.f1inschools.com](http://www.f1inschools.com).
