Each event is the end product of a two-year education cycle launched by the Winston Solar Car Team.
[1] The Solar Car Challenge is an educational program aimed at engaging high school students in designing, building, and racing solar-powered vehicles.
This initiative teaches students how to construct roadworthy solar cars through curriculum materials, on-site visits, workshops, and virtual learning opportunities.
Teams undergo a rigorous qualifying process known as "Scrutineering" to ensure compliance with safety and technical regulations.
The Solar Car Challenge Foundation, recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization, has expanded its global outreach.
