RnE was racing in the F1 in School National Competition in term 3.

In F1 national competition, students are challenged to create the fastest racing car and to come up with business plan to sponsor their project and to present all they have done in front of a panel of judges. Nerve wrecking? U bet it! And they did it! Weixuan (3E1), Yitian (3E2), Jerin (3E1), Weiyi (3E1), Felix(3E1), Ezekiel (1E1), Jillian (1E2),Cheryl (1N1A), Justin (1E1) and Jeremy (1E1) came together to form two teams of Henderson,  Aeorpheonix.2 and Agility V, to compete with over 20 schools in Singapore. 3 month long of preparation and training paid off as we clenched the awards of Best Pit Display Team and Gold Award. The battle isn’t over yet… We are now getting ready to compete in the Four by Four Competition in London and F1 in School World Finals next year. Our aim is nothing less than a championship.

Racing in SP Solar Car Competition 2014: 1st Runner Up

For the National Junior Solar Sprint Car (NJSSC), Felix (3E1), Ezekiel (1E2) and Jeremy (1E1) worked really hard to build a solar car, inspired by the design of a Desert Storm Operation Tank of the US Army (DSOTRSA). There was a twist to our DSOTRSA inspired car, though. Instead of giving it a brown colour, inherent to the cardboard they used, they smeared it with dark green and pitch black paints, entirely in the style of army. The end product was beautiful! On the day of the competition, the sun was on our side except during the last race where we were only 7 milliseconds away from championship! Yes, we are the proud First Runner Up!

Below are snapshots of what happened there! Check them out...
