Solar Cars
The Solar Car Club is offered to 4th and 5th grade students. Students will work in teams of 3 to design and build their own miniature solar powered race cars from scratch. The teams will only be provided with a solar panel, gear box, and axle rods.
Solar Cars offers students hands-on lessons in teamwork, renewable energy, problem-solving, science and engineering.The students’ hard work will be put to the ultimate test at the end of the season, when they will compete in the Texas Solar Race Car Event - an entire day of racing against other competing schools from Northside as well as other competitors from school districts all around Texas.
