F1 in Schools approached S Jones Containers to develop a fully self-contained workshop that could be transported internationally and used to deliver practical STEM education.
Working closely with the customer, our Conversions team designed and manufactured a bespoke 40ft shipping container that provided a dedicated teaching environment capable of housing specialist equipment while remaining suitable for deployment in demanding climates.
F1 in Schools was launched in 2001 as a Design & Technology Project to address the Four Key Concepts of Design and Technology as a subject: Creativity, Designing, Making and Critical Evaluation, and now 16 years later, F1 in Schools is acknowledged as the world’s largest STEM based educational competition.
The Teaching & Learning experience covers CAD/CAM, 3D Scanning, CNC Routing, Milling and Turning, as well as laser cutting and engraving and 3D printing. Pupils can design and make F1 model racing cars that can be tested on a racetrack against models constructed by other student teams.
Teachers also have the opportunity to design and deliver bespoke Design and Technology, and Engineering related courses that offer pupils the opportunity to experience something new, from manufacturing to working with modern CNC equipment to computer based design tasks. The activities help to enhance a pupil’s knowledge and give them experience of the skills and processes they will encounter during studies in class and in the world of work.
Specifying and sourcing hi-ambient HVAC suitable for use in the Middle East / desert regions and getting it all to fit alongside the emergency exit in the service lobby was the main challenge.
Our design engineers worked with the customer to design and manufacture the prototype product, an internationally shippable self-contained school workshop, which will allow students to develop their interest in STEM subjects.
Working alongside F1 in Schools, our design engineers developed a bespoke 40ft shipping container that could function as a fully self-contained workshop while remaining suitable for international transportation.
The container was modified to include a dedicated entrance, insulated internal lining, electrics and specialist flooring to create a practical teaching environment for STEM activities. A high-ambient HVAC system was carefully integrated into the design to provide suitable climate control for use in Middle Eastern and desert environments, despite the limited space available alongside the service lobby and emergency exit.
Following fabrication, the container was repainted and finished in the customer’s branding before being fitted with machine tools and desks to complete the mobile workshop.
“S Jones Containers Ltd provided us with an impressive level of service and support from conception to completion of The F1 STEM Studio. With S Jones’ help we now have the means to offer and deliver a portable, fully equipped and functional solution to our F1 in Schools customers all over the world.”
