Make Centres
All teams have been emailed on details of their Make Centre, please contact your make centre asap to determine when is the best time for them to manufacture your designs.
Remember, part files for axels and wheels have been put up on our website www.f1inschools.ie/public/resources.html in the Resources page. You can download these and incorporate them into your car design.
We've been asked about the website part of the competition, yes it is optional. However in order to score in the ‘High’ category in the Use of CAD and ICT a team must have a project website (see below part of page 16 of Rules and Regs).
"Presents information in a well organised and logical manner. Used ICT appropriately and skillfully for multiple aspects of the project and project management and developed a well designed project website. Excellent use of CAD/CAM as above, showing an excellent understanding of CAD/CAM. HIGH: 34-50"
By now your teams Marketing and Communications manager should be getting in contact with my colleague Sharon McGuire(sharonmc@ics.ie) to get their local media’s contact details.
