Welcome to the Solar Car Challenge Foundation, where Education, Innovation, and a Sustainable Future collide! Founded in 1993 and tracing back to 1989, the Solar Car Challenge was initiated by Dr. Lehman Marks to inspire students with the possibilities of renewable energy and sustainable transport. This educational program, rooted in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), offers hands-on learning that empowers students and sparks their curiosity. Our vision is to promote sustainable transportation through solar power, reducing carbon emissions and advancing the fight against climate change. It’s not just about building solar cars; our primary goal is educational, aiming to boost students' interest and proficiency in STEM. Participants gain not only academic skills by applying their knowledge to real-world challenges but also life skills through related project activities like fundraising, public speaking, and budget management. The program has grown from a single high school solar team to a national educational movement, featuring the annual Solar Car Challenge Race. This initiative reaches students and educators worldwide, increasing access to STEM education and promoting renewable energy. Students involved in the Challenge often advance to higher education and careers in engineering and related fields, contributing to their communities and furthering sustainable practices. For inquiries, contact Dr. Lehman Marks - [email protected] For more details about The Solar Car Challenge Foundation and the Solar Car Challenge Race, please visit www.solarcarchallenge.org Join us in driving towards a greener future and empowering the next generation of innovators. Here, every voice is valued, and we offer equal opportunities for all students and educators to engage and learn.

The Solar Car Challenge Foundation was Honored in the D CEO Magazine Innovation in Education category. Despite its small size, the Solar Car Challenge Foundation has had an outsized impact, working with 75,000 students to promote science, engineering, and alternative energy. Staffed completely by volunteers, the organization has enough history in the region to have a board made of former students who participated in the program and has 261 ongoing projects in 39 states and five countries. With a mission to build a road-worthy solar car, the nonprofit has reached a diverse audience, participation of 48 percent female and 65 percent people of color taking part. Participants have just celebrated the culmination of a race at Texas Motor Speedway. The Solar Car Challenge is supported by an education initiative that teaches engineering, battery technology, aerodynamics, project management, and community outreach.
