Over the last 14 years, thousands of secondary school students have participated in this hands-on science program. Each student experiences the excitement of competition and, almost without knowing it, fills his or her mind with knowledge.
The competitive spirit is an effective motivator. Science, engineering and design, and technology teachers throughout Western Australia have classes filled with extraordinarily enthusiastic students building model solar cars. Not only is the learning fun but the learning outcomes are tremendous. Teachers report how students motivated by the competition build an intuitive knowledge of the sciences that permeates the classroom.
