  • Abstract
    Georgia high schoolers Anna Awald, Kelly Fitzgerald, Claire McCoy, and Sabine Saldanha are taking off--fast! In the past two years, they have blown away their competition at various challenges, traveled the globe, and built a race car that won them the honor of fourth fastest car in the world, all thanks to the F1 in Schools program.
