Churchie STEM Racing team
Regional winners.
Heading to state.
We're four students from Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane, and we design, build and race our own miniature Formula 1 car. We won our regional final, and now we're chasing a national title. Help us get there.

The car
Built to fly
Every panel is modelled, CFD-tested and refined by the team before it's ever cut. This is our latest render, fresh off the design bench.

About us
Creativity,
resilience,
greatness
Eclipse is an enterprise built on creativity, resilience and greatness. We're a group of science, technology, engineering and maths enthusiasts from the Gifted Program at Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie) in East Brisbane, and we're competing in the STEM Racing State Competition.
Our goal is to win the national competition with a car that can complete the 20 metre track in under 1.1 seconds, backed by a brand people can recognise on an international scale. Our regional win is proof we mean it.
Competing at this level costs real money, so we're looking for partners who want to back young innovators.
The competition
What is STEM Racing?
STEM Racing, previously known as F1 in Schools, is described by the Re-engineering Australia Foundation as the “foremost student competition for STEM”. Teams design and race a miniature F1 inspired car while building a recognisable brand at the same time.
The cars are powered by a CO2 canister and race down a 20 metre track. Doing well takes more than speed. You need great portfolios, strong branding, and the skills to design and manufacture a car that cuts through the air.

Our project
What we're working on
- 01
Project documentation
A full engineering portfolio that records how we plan, design, test and improve, including the things that didn't work.
- 02
Car design and CFD testing
We design the car in CAD and test it with Computational Fluid Dynamics, so we know how it moves through air before we ever make it.
- 03
Verbal presentations
We have to explain and defend our decisions to judges, out loud and under pressure.
- 04
Trade display
We design and build a display that shows off the Eclipse brand at events. Getting this right is a big part of our funding goal.
