Northside ISD STEM Solar Car Races

For 25 years, Northside ISD students have been built solar-powered cars to race in the Solar Cars competition.
Solar Cars is an after-school science enrichment program offered to 4th and 5th grade students. Students build engineering skills as they work in teams to design and build a working solar car model.
