Universal Honda invited students from Rathcoole to get a feel for the Formula 1 Car on display at their new Headquarters in Citywest Business Campus on the Naas Road.
The students are among the 20 second level schools in Ireland taking part in the Challenge which has been brough to Ireland by the Irish Computer Society.
The Honda-powered F1 in Schools competition is part of an international competition which now attracts more than 45,000 across the world in a frenzied dash to design, build and ultimately race C)2 powered model Formula 1 cars.
