Junior Solar Sprint

Junior Solar Sprint (JSS) is a competitive program for 5th- to 8th-grade students to create a small solar-powered vehicle.

JSS competitions are sponsored by the Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP), and administered by the Technology Student Association (TSA).

[6] Junior Solar Sprint competitions are held at the national-, state-, and some regional-level TSA conferences,[7] as well as other AEOP-hosted locations.

[1] In the event that the site is overcast, and the solar panels won't work, two 1.5 volt AA batteries will be given to each team.

[8] The 2017 national TSA conference was held June 21–25, in Orlando, Florida, and many middle school students across the country traveled to compete with their vehicles.
