In partnership with the Notebaert Nature Museum, the Chicago Center for Green Technology invites future scientists, engineers, and designers to participate in the 4th annual Chicago Solar Powerup! Solar Powerup gives students ages 8-13 the opportunity to design, build, and race model solar cars while learning about renewable energy resources. Students are given instruction in various design factors and then work in teams to design and build their car. Following testing, these workshops culminate in a series of one-on-one races in a tournament at Daley Plaza on Wednesday, August 5th to determine the champions.
Please note: Registration is limited to 20 students per session and will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. Spots may only be reserved by the receipt of payment ($75, check only) no later than two weeks prior to the first class. Before mailing in payment, please call (312) 746-4155 for availability. Limited scholarships are available.
