Formula One in schools (January-2009)
Congratulations to St Mary's Transition Year girls' Formula 1 team, which has been accepted to proceed to the Regional Final Stage in the F1 in Schools Championship Season 2008-09. The successful team managers and their teachers are working hard on the next stage of this exciting project! There has been lots of media coverage of their success.
The pictures show "Team Cheetah" working with Jenny Ryan, the first female driver to win the UK Motor Racing Championships. Jenny advised Team "Cheetah" on design, marketing and gaining sponsorship for the project. The website www.f1inschools.ie has the following comment- "In terms of well-written content, presentational flair and engineering expertise the standard of submissions was very impressive. We thank everyone who took the time to submit their plans. And we look forward to working with the successful entrants over the coming months." ......watch this space
