We began on working on our solar car base . we marked the location were different part of the car would be located. We are working on the car and Kevin is working on the support for the solar panel. Kevin, Natheanel and luke are working on ideas, our teacher is helping us build and giving us ideas. We also glued parts to the car. we are staring on the front wheels with Luke . 9-13-22

Nathanael made some jet stickers to add some details to the car, on the front sides of the car we added the team logo (turbo jets). We also painted it to give it some character. 11-9-22

We added the solar panel on top of the car ,this will help the car to move with the energy of the sun. It also has back up supply of energy with the batteries for a cloudy day. 11-15-22

Once we put the solar panel on the car we tested it in the hallway because it was cloudy outside. 11-15-22

Tuesday, November 15, we tested the car but there was a problem the string was rubbing the wood so we put tape on the bottom of the car. We are going to test it again to see if it works.
