Blueprint
Materials Required:
- Cardboard, foam, or lightweight materials for constructing car components
- Adhesives, tapes, and decorative materials (e.g., paints, markers)
- Tools (e.g., scissors, utility knives, tape measures)
- Designated workspace or area for construction
- Race course or track (e.g., open field, parking lot, indoor facility)
- Safety equipment (e.g., helmets, knee pads) for the race
Pre-Activity Briefing:
- Explain the objectives and rules of the F1 Car Challenge
- Demonstrate examples of successful car component designs or construction techniques
- Emphasize the importance of teamwork, communication, and safety protocols
Team Formation and Planning Phase:
- Divide participants into teams (if not pre-assigned)
- Assign each team a specific car component to construct (e.g., chassis, wheels, body)
- Allow teams time to brainstorm ideas, assign roles, and plan their component design
Car Component Construction:
- Provide teams with the designated materials and workspace
- Guide teams through the process of constructing their car components
- Encourage teams to consider factors such as aerodynamics, stability, and aesthetics
- Facilitate collaboration and coordination within teams and among teams
Integration and Final Assembly:
- Facilitate the integration of individual team components into the life-size F1 car
- Encourage teams to collaborate and provide feedback during the assembly process
- Ensure proper alignment, cohesion, and functionality of the final vehicle
Race Preparation and Execution:
- Establish a race course or track with appropriate safety measures
- Assign team members to power and steer the assembled F1 car
- Conduct trial runs and make necessary adjustments
- Execute the high-energy man-powered race to determine the winning team
Evaluation and Reflection:
- Evaluate the teams based on predetermined criteria (e.g., design, teamwork, race performance)
- Facilitate a group discussion and reflection session
- Encourage participants to share their experiences, challenges, and lessons learned
- Highlight the importance of teamwork, communication, creativity, and perseverance
