Mission statement

To promote and develop interest and expertise in using solar and renewable energies by school students by using learning processes to address real challenges. By so doing, it is hoped that the citizens, scientists and engineers of the future will be more likely to participate in developing an environmentally aware approach to energy usage through more efficient use of old technologies and appropriate introduction of renewable energy resources.
