How on earth does the sun move a car? How is a solar car race structured? Do all the cars leave at the same time, or are they sent off in smaller groups? What’s different about driving a solar car? Does it travel on busy roads with semis and other traffic? Learn the answers to these questions and much more when EWO presents “Fill ‘er Up—With Sunshine!” on October 23, 2024.
The University of Michigan Solar Car Team includes over 100 students, reflecting at least fifteen different majors, whose mission is to design, build, and race solar cars. The team is entirely student-driven (pun intended), and has racked up championships in both American and international races.
Members of the team will share highlights of preparing the current car. Hear about their adventures and experiences in the 2024 American Solar Challenge, racing across the U.S. on nothing but ingenuity and the power of the sun.
