The Philadelphia Solar Energy Association's 2024 Junior Solar Sprint was a smashing sunny success on Drexel University’s Quad in June.

Students from schools across the region showed off their engineering skills, competing for awards in artistic and technical merit, and of course speed to design, build and race their model solar cars.

The event featured a number of improvements this year, including the new scoreboard (pictured above), handmade trophies,  and an Open Division with entrants from the 3rd and 4th grades. 

A special thanks to all the dedicated teachers who inspire these young people and to our amazing volunteers, who are the heart and soul of this wonderful event.
