STEM Racing 由 F1 in Schools 发展而来。它是一项非营利的全球学生工程赛事,已有二十五年以上,在 60 多个国家开展,并得到 Formula 1 的支持。学生自己组队,把一辆微型赛车从设计做到赛场。
STEM Racing grew out of F1 in Schools. It is a not-for-profit student engineering competition, more than twenty-five years old, active in over 60 countries, and supported by Formula 1. Students form a team and take a miniature race car from design to the track.
一支小队
A student team
一支队伍通常是 3 到 6 名学生,年龄大致在 9 到 19 岁。大家分工,像一支缩小的车队:设计、分析、制造、测试,以及品牌、赞助和项目管理。工程作品、展示和口头陈述都要交。
A team is usually 3 to 6 students, aged about 9 to 19. They split the work the way a small racing team would: design, analysis, manufacture and testing, plus brand, sponsorship and project management. The engineering work, the display and a spoken presentation all count.
从设计到发车
From design to the start
核心步骤是设计、分析、制造、测试和竞速。车子是微型的方程式风格赛车。工具会随组别变化,常见的有 CAD、流体分析,以及手工制作、3D 打印或 CNC。中学阶段分 Entry、Development、Professional,难度逐步提高。
The core is design, analysis, manufacture, testing and racing. The car is a miniature, Formula-style racer. Tools change by class. Teams commonly use CAD, airflow analysis, and hand finishing, 3D printing or CNC. Secondary classes step up through Entry, Development and Professional.
赛场怎么走
How the racing progresses
比赛从地区赛开始,之后可以走向国家赛。最前面的队伍代表国家参加 Aramco STEM Racing World Finals。在世界决赛,赛车约为 1:25 的方程式模型,单次冲线往往只稍长于一秒,名次常常只差几毫秒。
Racing starts at regional events and can continue to a national final. The leading teams represent their country at the Aramco STEM Racing World Finals. There, the cars are about 1:25 scale Formula models. A run often lasts little more than a second, and places are often separated by milliseconds.
