2026 Give to the Max day is almost here!!!!!! With the World Solar Challenge right around the corner, we need all the support we can get from our incredible donors. To ensure that we can make it to Australia (and maybe back), we have set a hefty goal of $12,000, but with your help, we know we can make it. On top of this, by donating, you are helping sustain an organization built on sustainability, making sure our team can keep making a difference, year after year, race after race.

Last, but certainly not the least is our Electrical Team!

Meet our Electrical Team! They design, build, and test the electrical systems behind our solar car. From power and motors to firmware, telemetry, and vehicle interfaces, they are the wizards behind the car!

That’s all folks! Our build cycles and rayces wouldn’t be possible without all these hands! We couldn’t thank them enough 🫶

And for anyone interested in joining; our info sessions are running! Attend an orientation to access our main communication and get your hands workin’!

As always
UFF DA! ☀️🚗
