What Will I Be Doing?
During this engagement you'll need your thinking cap as you design your own car that is powered by the sun! To start off, take a look at the learning launcher below for some background information about solar panels. They are pretty incredible devices! When you're ready, move on to the solar car directions below. Use them as a guide while building your car. Feel free to deviate from the directions to make a car that suits your needs!
