JAMMU, Oct 6: Jodhamal Public School’s Helios Racing team qualified for the F1 School World final which is scheduled to be held in the United Kingdom in the year of 2022.
The team has been selected in the F1 School Challenge Season-4, held at Delhi by displaying their exceptional technical skills and innovative thinking wherein about 40 national teams participated.
The team members include Skasham Sagar, Samridh Sharma, Samik J Singh, Ashmit Gupta and Mysha Tabrez, mentored by Neetu Johri.
The Jodhamal Public School in collaboration with Times of Sports has been conducting STEM programmes for the last few years. This STEM programme is a multi-disciplinary challenge in which a team of students aged 9 to 19 deploy CAD / CAM software to collaborate design, analyse, manufacture, test and then race miniature compressed air powered balsa wood F1 cars.
Based on the formula-1 motorsport, the competition involves the designing and manufacturing of a miniature working F1 car model by individual team from all over the country, which then race with each other on a 25 meter long track.
After winning four awards including the Resilience Award, the Pit Display Award, Fastest Reaction Time Award and the Runner up Award at the national stage, the team is now gearing up for one of the biggest world finals.
Nandan Kuthiala, trustee and Dr Deep Khare, Principal of School appreciated the sheer hard work put in by the team and their mentor for achieving this marvellous feat.students aged 9 to 19 deploy CAD / CAM software to collaborate design, analyse, manufacture, test and then race miniature compressed air powered balsa wood F1 cars.
