It's summertime fun powered by the sun! Join us at the Bryan Scout
House to build, test and race creatively engineered solar powered race
boats. No mailing required; your solar kit will be provided at the
event.
Get ready to put your creativity and engineering skills
to the test as you design, build, and race your very own solar-powered
boat! This hands-on session will introduce you to the magic of solar
energy while encouraging you to think outside the box in crafting your
boat's design. You'll use a solar boat kit provided at the event, that
is packed with everything you need to build; a motor, craft foam,
solar panels, axles, propellers, wiring, and fun racing stickers. We
also encourage bringing your own recycled materials to the event to
add a unique twist to your boat's look and functionality. No two boats
will be alike-your design is yours to dream up. At the end of the
event, families are invited to cheer on the race and celebrate the
innovation and hard work of each participant!
Awards will be
given for:
Solar Speedster - The fastest boat in each Girl Scout
level
Creative Captain - The most innovative design
Eco
Innovator - Best use of sustainable or recycled materials
Registration includes lunch, solar kit and fun patch. We can't wait to
see your solar-powered masterpieces hit the water this summer!
