What Inspired You to Make This?

As a part of the American Solar Challenge, we compete against other top-tier universities and race across the country with our completely custom-built car. We are all dedicated to a zero-emission future and share a passion to push boundaries and build something you could only dream up! With a group of dedicated students, designing and manufacturing a solar powered vehicle is an invaluable experience and has provided numerous opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. Plus solar cars are super cool!
