F1 in Schools tutorials

F1 in Schools helps change perceptions of engineering, science, and technology by creating a fun and exciting learning environment. F1 in Schools participants design and manufacture a C02-powered car, analyze aerodynamics, and create marketing material. Regional, national, and international teams are judged on car speed, design documentation, verbal presentation, and marketing display. 

Design, analyze, and manufacture a racecar

Choose from the tutorials below to learn how to design, analyze, and manufacture your own F1 in Schools racecar. Start by modeling your car in either Autodesk Inventor or Autodesk Fusion 360, then use manufacturing software like Autodesk Inventor HSM and Fusion 360 CAM to prepare your model for manufacturing.  Finally, use Autodesk Flow Design to analyze the performance of your car and create a beautiful rendering with Autodesk Showcase.

Thanks Zakiya!
Sorry Angela, not sure... Are you sure you have the correct datasets, not the Fusion ones?

Great tutorial.... well done! A few glitches with the surfacing, but it may be because we are using Inventor 2019. Reordering some of the operations helps fix some issues. Overall, my students learned about complex surfaces.
