So you think you have what it takes
to be a Formula 1 car designer? There is one more thing you’ll have to be a PRO at... and that is CAD (Computer Aided Design). Luckily for you F1 in Schools can certainly help you master this skill. On this page you will find three exciting tasks meant to develop your CAD skills and enable you to make something as cool as Centurion Racing did. |

1. THE BASICS
|
Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use app for 3D design, electronics, and coding. It's used by teachers, kids, hobbyists, and designers to imagine, design, and make anything!
You don’t need to know CAD to make and print awesome 3D models. It's as easy as Place, Adjust and Combine. Please find more info on the Tinker CAD website here |

3. THE ANIMATION
|
3D animation uses computer graphics to make objects look like they are moving in 3-dimensional space. Artists use 3D modelling software to build the objects.
No pressure here as you can research other ways to animate your CAD files, just be creative. |
