- Gain an engineering perspective on solar power
- Utilize 3D printed parts made from recycled materials
The Solar Power Makerspace Starter Package provides students with an opportunity to gain an understanding of solar power from an engineering perspective. Solar energy is becoming an increasingly popular renewable energy source. For many years, the possibility of solar powered vehicles has been discussed among engineers, and now, designs for such vehicles are finally becoming a reality. In this unit, students will explore the science of solar power, as well as the engineering design process for automobiles.
