RS Formula Student Build Fund

RS is a proud sponsor of iMechE Formula Student, and we offer Formula Student teams the opportunity to receive product donations worth £1,000 (or equivalent) to support their hands-on technical learning.

We understand building a Formula Student car is neither easy nor cheap, so we are doing our part to help students around the globe realise their goals through practical experience.

The application is simple, tell us about your team, and your objectives. Tell us how you would like to use the fund, which technical skill are you developing by being part of a Formula Student team and how will our fund enable your team and your participation in the chosen competition.

• You must be a registered member of DesignSpark (sign up here)
• Aged 18 or over as of the date of entry
• A registered Formula Student Team

The chosen teams to receive our Build Fund are expected to:

1. Sign our simple agreement
2. Create a video introducing your team and your workshop and tag us on your socials (Video guidance will be provided)
3. Order your products and get building!
4. Create a DesignSpark article to summarise the build, this could be: key learning, challenges, product review, future plans etc.
