Our History

Starting in the fall of 2022, three students (Simon Dickerson, Richard Souchick, and Arjun Vasudevan) pondered the idea of building a fully functional solar car.  After learning about the Texas Solar Car Challenge, they put together a detailed plan and presentation to their advisor (Dr. John Cordell).  

​

From here, parts were ordered and mistakes were made, but through the frigid winter cold and blazing summer heat, the team (now consisting of over a dozen members) finally passed the arduous scrutineering process at precisely the cutoff time.

​

Looking ahead, the team (now lead by Richard Souchick and Arjun Vasudevan), hopes to continue their success by building a much lighter and faster car for the 2024 Texas Solar Car Challenge.
