BEEC is hosting the 4th annual Southeastern Vermont Solar Sprint on Thursday, May 29th 2025!
Last year, 100 students in the 7th and 8th grades participated from six different schools—Bellows Falls Middle School, Putney Central School, Dummerston School, Keene Middle School, Chesterfield School, and Twin Valley Middle School. There were 40 model solar cars that competed against each other in a double elimination race. Awards were given for 1st and 2nd place for Speed, Creative Engineering, and Kids Choice for the coolest looking car.
Many thanks to our sponsors who provided funds for materials to build the cars and for T-shirts for all of the students. Our sponsors included Chroma Technology, Southern Vermont Solar, Integrated Solar, Noyes Volkswagen and Commonwealth Dairy. Many thanks also to the Brattleboro Recreation and Parks Department who provided a great indoor space in the skating rink due to the rainy weather. The solar cars used battery packs to help them speed down the track.
