We are a team of high schoolers who build and race solar-powered cars. We develop essential marketing and STEM skills in our members, who are able to utilize these skills in the real world. Our team builds cars, but we also build passion, knowledge, and a work ethic in our members
This year's race was our most successful season, as measured by the number of miles driven and the overall outcome. We achieved second place in the advanced division and drove 353 miles. The cross-country race was canceled when we got to El Paso because of a COVID outbreak among the judges.
The team installed a new body and constructed a completely new solar array, which involved soldering every solar cell and encapsulating them into modules. The team was the most prepared we had ever been. We were able to come up with very detailed drawings created using SolidWorks (CAD drawing software). The team was very prepared and disciplined. We passed scrutineering with a day to spare. (Scrutineering is a process where teams set the cars and have them inspected by the judges for safety.)
The Oregon Solar Car Team is an experimental project revolving around the design, construction, and management of a fully functioning, fully scaled, solar-powered racing car. The team is entirely made up of high school students and was started in 2007 by Thomas Stueve, under the name Oregon High School Solar Car Team.
