Register your class for the Junior Solar Sprint - A Model Solar Car Competition for Middle School Students.

The Junior Solar Sprint is a classroom-based national competition of solar-powered model cars for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. The best cars from each school compete in a regional competition. A regional competition can consist of a state, school district(s), county(ies), or part of a state (i.e., Southern California). The Sprint is not meant to be a single school activity. All participants work with identical solar panels and motors. Cars are judged on the basis of design and craftsmanship as well as performance.

What is the purpose of the Junior Solar Sprint?

The Junior Solar Sprint is more than just winning a race. It helps to teach principles of renewable energy in an atmosphere that is fun and exciting. Experience from events in previous years demonstrates that it meets its goals of stimulating interest in new technology among young students and encourages them to accept these technologies and incorporate this area in their education, consumer practices and career plan.
