Students race 16-foot-long solar powered canoes at the Solar Cup

We’ve seen solar powered remote-controlled cars being built and raced by students before. This time however, the students of Savanna High School in Anaheim and Oak Park High School in Oak Park decided to race 16-foot, single-seat canoes powered only by the sun at the Solar Cup competition sponsored by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and local water agencies. The Savanna High School and Oak Park High School teams crossed the finish line before the remaining 38 schools, winning top honors for their seven month long effort put into building these solar powered vessels and finally having them raced.

Using solar energy to power up competitions as such sure seems to be a great way to educate children and teenagers in regards to greener renewable energy sources that need to and will be the future way to power up.
