Formula 1 Recycled Racers Workshop with Electronic Arts

About

In this workshop, students will learn how to create a balloon-powered recycled racer and compete in their own class F1 race. To help them keep track of the race winners, they will also learn about different types of data and how to use a table to store and manipulate it in spreadsheets.  

This workshop uses recycled materials. You might like to arrange for learners to bring from home the recycled materials that they will need for this workshop. 

If you have any questions about the workshop, please get in touch with the team: dsh@ukie.org.uk
