F1 in Schools is an international STEM competition for school children, in which groups of 3–6 students have to design and manufacture a miniature car out of the official F1 Model Block using CAD/CAM design tools. The cars are powered by CO₂ cartridges and are attached to a track by a nylon wire.  Teams then have to compete against each other in the first level of the competition and the top 3 winning teams then proceed to the national level competition.
