E-Horizon Project
We bring students closer to engineering and motorsport, providing practical and theoretical skills in the design and management of a competition vehicle.
Learning goals
The E-Horizon project aims to bring students closer to engineering and motorsport, providing practical and theoretical skills across all aspects of designing and managing a competition vehicle.
Students develop skills in electronics, design, software, communication, project management and branding, preparing for technical and collaborative challenges in real contexts.
Who it’s for
E-Horizon is designed for all high schools, regardless of specialization, and offers a unique opportunity to get closer to engineering and motorsport.
Through structured pathways and hands-on activities, each student can develop skills in electronics, design, software, communication, project management and branding, actively contributing to building a competition vehicle.
Teachers can support teams as advisors, providing technical and educational guidance and accompanying students through a complete and engaging learning experience.
One car, many topics
Aerodynamics
Study of airflow, shapes and aerodynamic components to optimize speed and stability.
Software
Programming, data management and digital tools for vehicle design and simulation.
Electronics
Electronic control systems, sensors, engine management and vehicle telemetry.
Vehicle Dynamics
Analysis of vehicle behavior in cornering, acceleration, braking and balance.
Cost Management
Management of costs, materials and resources for vehicle construction and maintenance.
Logistics
Organization of materials, movements and timing to optimize team operations.
3D Printing
Production of prototypes and components using additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies.
Mechanics
Assembly, maintenance and optimization of the vehicle’s mechanical components.Teacher / advisor role
Advisors are external figures such as alumni, teachers or professionals who provide technical and educational support.
Their role is consulting, training and supervision: they do not directly participate in competitions and do not hold operational roles during official sessions.
Each team can have up to 2 advisors, declared at registration.
Project timeline
Step 1: Registration and project kick-off
Join the project by registering your team using the link below and receive the learning materials to get started.
Step 2: Design and development
