Last summer we told you about the Aeroflow Racing Team from the Wheeler Magnet School as they prepared for an international F1 competition.
Their successor is called the Celeritas Racing Team, and one of their team members, Shashaank Aiyer, got in touch to let us know that they’re prepping for the F1 in Schools National Competition in Austin, Texas from Feb. 20-23.
Shashaank tells us the Celeritas team is comprised of six juniors who’ll be taking part in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary challenge “in which teams design, analyze, manufacture, and test miniature F1 cars that are powered by compressed carbon dioxide and raced down a track.”
The Celeritas team members and their responsibilities are as follows:
- Shashaank Aiyer, executive manager and graphic designer;
- Chase Waddington, manufacturing engineer;
- Jared Ryley, design engineer;
- Sai Rajendrakumar, marketing director;
- Mateen Jangda, financial manager;
- Davis Nilson, resource director and web designer.
Last year’s Wheeler team won the U.S. competition and finished 15th in the global event in Singapore.
Here’s more about what’s coming up in Austin.
