Everybody
Wins at The Junior Solar Sprint as students
learn about renewable energy!
The
Junior Solar Sprint model solar powered car
competition is a national science and technology
program enabling 5th through 8th graders to
deepen their understanding of renewable energy,
math, physical science and craftsmanship through
hands-on discovery that is extraordinarily
fun.
Students design and construct mini solar cars
using a combination of household and recovered
materials, guidance from teachers, parents
or group leaders, and information from the Northeast
Sustainable Energy Association. The competition
is held as part of the RI
Sustainable Living Festival & Clean Energy
Expo each June, and is conveniently located
at the Western Coventry Elementary School near
to Festival Parking. Junior Solar Sprint Team
Members and Teachers get into the Festival
for
free. Winners are announced and receive
prizes from the festival main stage.
Winners are also eligible to compete in the
Northeast Championship at the Springfield Science
Museum Quadrangle the following day.
