Solar Cars

Kylee was selected to be a part of the three member Solar Car team representing Bob Lewis Elementary School.  She and her teammates, Erin and John Adam, spent afternoons at the school designing and building an electric car powered by solar panels to be raced at a district wide competition.  Northside ISD is a huge school district, so there were about 50 teams at the competition held at the NISD stadium.  The teams raced in numerous heats on both sides of the stadium.  The little cars were pretty fragile, but fortunately there was onsite assistance available for last minute soldering and hot glue repairs.  Kylee and her team did great.
