Last Wednesday 1st July Caitlin, Clara, Helga, Alex, Dan and Cameron headed to Cameron's old school Knox Grammar in Wahroonga where the team had the opportunity to share our passion for solar racing with every highschool student from year 7 to 12.
- Approximately 110 high school students in 22 teams are expected to attend the 12th annual UNSW SunSprint challenge, proudly hosted by Sunswift along with the UNSW Faculty of Science.
Held on Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th of September, teams from high schools across New South Wales battle it out to see who can build the fastest pre-designed and pre-built model cars powered only by the sun's energy. The students will also have to carry “passengers” in the form of raw eggs safely through the race track.
“It's so exciting to see enthusiastic students put their ingenuity to use in such creative ways. We are thrilled to run an event to give these students the chance to excel.” says Daniel Friedman, Sunswift’s project manager.
The event will commence at 8am and finish at around 6pm on both days at the UNSW Quadrangle Lawn. There will also be a race between a group of Sunswift alumni’s model car and this year team's during lunchtime on the Saturday.
So if you are around university, why not come and check out these future engineers of tomorrow, or come and meet the friendly faces of the Sunswift team who will be happy to answer all your questions.

Last weekend the team was delighted to once again assist the UNSW Faculties of Science and Engineering in hosting the NSW SunSprint Model Solar Car Challenge. The competition sees high school students from across NSW come to UNSW and compete for a spot in the National competition.
Luckily this year the sun shined the whole weekend allowing the students to really push their cars to the limit. The team would like to congratulate all the entrants for their engineering prowess and excellent sportsmanship. We hope to see you in Sunswift in a few years time. Special congratulations to the team from All Saints Grammar School who were overall winners and the team from Redeemer Baptist school who took out the novice competition.
Best of luck to all the team's who got through to the Nationals.
