Dr Myers talks to two teachers, Paul Sexton from Wesley College in Perth and Rowan Cahill from Mackay North State High School in Queensland. While separated by 5,000km of Australian Desert, they came together to facilitate their students forming a long-distance collaboration team, breaking the tyranny of distance, to participate in the F1 in Schools World Finals in Abu Dhabi in 2019. They discuss the achievements and experiences of the students and the professional development outcomes the experience provided them.
