How does it work?

Each F1 in Schools event, whether regional, national, or global, has a judging panel. These judges assess each team across five key categories according to a scorecard, before providing feedback on what they did well, and where they could possibly do better.

The top team from each category wins an award, and the very best teams, who achieve the highest scores across the board, receive the opportunity to progress to the next level of the competition.

The judging categories
​

F1 in Schools encompasses an incredible array of skills, so, whether you’re an engineer or a marketeer, there is a category for which your
experience will be perfectly suited.

Which category is right for you?

  • ​Design & Engineering: Do you use CAD/CAM software? Are you an engineer? If so, this is the category for you! With each team creating a Design &Engineering portfolio, you will assess the document to learn about their innovations.

  • Enterprise: Business minded? Marketing savvy? Enterprise is where you’d be a great fit. Each team creates an Enterprise Portfolio, and you’ll be looking through to see whether they have grown their business and brand.

  • Project Management: If you’re brilliant at taking concepts to completion, then this is the role for you. Each team creates a Project Management portfolio which details their work, so you’ll be able to see if they’re RACI matrix pros.

  • Brand Identity: Passionate about branding? You’ll love this role. With a requirement to build a show-stopping pit display, you’ll be looking to see how creative a team has been with their space.
    ​
  • Verbal Presentation: If you’re a confident orator with experience in public speaking, you’ll enjoy hearing our students discuss their work in a 10-minute verbal presentation. You’ll be assessing their use of visual cues and ability to engage.​

“F1 in Schools is such an incredible competition, and I would fully recommend volunteering as a judge to anyone.

To watch a young person realise exactly what they are capable of and where it can take them is a hugely rewarding experience.
​
Just a small amount of your time can make an enormous difference to their self-confidence and their future. "
