Welcome

celerity.team consists of four dedicated and
highly motivated pupils from the
Märkisches Gymnasium Iserlohn who came
together for the work on the project.

Formula 1 in schools

is a multi-disciplinary and international
technology challenge, in which teams of
students design, manufacture and then race
miniature compressed air powered F1 cars.

We aim to use the fascination with the "big" Formula 1 and the world-wide presence to create an exciting and thrilling learning experience for young people to improve their understanding and insight in product development, technology, and science and show them careers in technical jobs.

In regional championships and a German Championship teams are competing with gas-cartridge driven race cars on a 20 m race track. The winning team represents Germany in the World Championships of "F1 in Schools" that take place every year prior to a Formula 1 Grand Prix.

In addition to the design of the car and the driving time, the evaluation also includes a presentation, a portfolio and a pit display.

Code of conduct
Corporate Identity
„Corporate Design makes the good better.”
The corporate identity should stand out from the other teams. Therefore, both a striking color scheme and a modern appearance have been implemented. It was important that, in addition to the recognition value, the practical benefits were guaranteed.

Competition
The Project
„Healthy competition doesn't live from the fight but from creative diversity.”
Formula 1 is a multi-disciplinary and international technology challenge, in which students design, manufacture and then race miniature compressed air powered F1 cars. In addition to the design of the car and the driving time, the evaluation also includes a presentation, a portfolio and a pit display.

Championships
„From Newcomer to the World Championship in nine month.”
Everything started with a session at SIHK in Hagen (Germany) that combined both an introduction as well as a first training. We meet there at the first time and it was not clear to us that this was the beginning of our common road to Malaysia. As from the beginning we knew that this is the first and the last time we are able to participate at the project. Therefore we had the participation in the German Championship as a common target in mind.
