Solar Car

Cars running on solar power without gas or fuel are the next generation of technology. Staten Island Solar Car Team collaborated with Staten Island Technical High School's Green Technology Club to give students the opportunity to learn how to build and drive a solar car. Charlie Dazzo works with the Solar Car Team in the school's MakerSpace to guide students on the building process. The team received tremendous support from the faculty, teachers, and PTA. Last year, the team competed on a cross-country trail from Texas to California, placing 2nd with a total distance of 544.8 miles! This year, our students placed 4th at the Texas Motor Speedway and drove over a stunning 763 miles in total! Through this experience, students could get outside of the daily classroom and witness the future for themselves.
