My Project

Collaboration is tough for students throughout their careers. This collaborative challenge will provide all the challenges and fun to keep the students focused on the goal and to ensure they are working collaboratively to the best of their ability.

Racing solar panel cars seems like a great way to let the students work with each other to figure out the best design, best construction strategy, and other factors that go into making the fastest, most efficient racing car they can produce.

Thank you for considering this project to support and fund.
