The Stanford Solar Car Project is a student run and donation funded group working to expose students and the community to hands-on engineering and alternative energy via design, construction and racing of solar-powered vehicles. The project has existed since 1987 and has completed five prototype solar-electric vehicles and raced in the World Solar Challenge in Australia, the FIA ElectroCup in Japan, and SunRayce and The American Solar Challenge here in the United States. In all of these events Stanford has demostrated that students with limited resources and time can compete with the world's best. Beyond racing, the project is actively involved in several yearly community events and seeks to educate the general community on the possibilities of clean energy.
