FORMULA ETHARA
STEM and cross-curricular learning, geared towards students aged 6 to 13 years.
'Ethara' means 'excite' in Arabic, the perfect name for one of our most captivating programmes. Formula Ethara, the 'Classroom Racing' Team Challenge, is a project learning programme for children ages 6 -13, to develop 21st Century skills in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
Through the production of small-scale model race cars made from paper card, the programme offers teachers a team-orientated platform that focuses on design, simple CAD/CAM technology, graphic arts, science, math, literacy and enterprise. The excitement is maximized on race day when the children get to test their cars on the Formula Ethara Race Track. Ideal for delivering as a year group-wide themed topic, Formula Ethara develops a passion for designing and manufacturing in the early years.

HOW FAST IS YOUR REACTION TIME?
Is your reaction speed as fast as an F1 driver? Can you beat your friends and classmates? An important part of Racing Formula Ethara and F1® in Schools program is having a quick reaction time. During the racing, there's a 20-meter racetrack with special start and finish gate timing equipment. When each racer is ready, there's a countdown with 5 red lights. The racers need to press a button once the 5 lights go out and the timing gate says ‘Go’. If a racer presses too early, they will get a false start.
Why not test your own reaction time with our free reaction challenge below.
- Once you're ready to being, click reset
- Wait for the lights to go out
- Press space bar as soon as ‘Go!’ appears and see how fast your reaction time is
