The F1 Challenge is open to middle and high school level students worldwide. F1 team members learn and work in CAD, CAM, and CNC programs as they perform various activities at each phase of a five-step process to design, analyze, make, test and race a 1/20th scale F1 car. This standards-based challenge seeks to promote advanced technology engineering skills and teamwork.  USA teams may face an elimination event at the state level, in order to qualify for participation in the national challenge, which takes place each year at TSA's national conference.

In 2010, the national TSA conference will take place in Baltimore, Maryland from June 28th through July 2nd. Following the national competition, the winning team has the opportunity to compete in the F1 in Schools World Championship, in which as many as 20 countries may be represented.

All teams that wish to participate in the F1 Challenge at the national TSA conference must be registered as an F1 team with TSA prior to the conference. 

Participation in the USA F1 Challenge involves an annual team fee of $150. This fee covers team registration and all items in the F1 Challenge Kit (rules and other download details, two car kits, free software options, etc.).  This fee does not cover conference registration or housing costs for the national TSA conference.  If you have students who would like to work together as a F1 team, complete the F1 Challenge Agreement Form and fax or mail it along with the payment to TSA.
