A solar powered toy car that works! Use your creativity to customize and decorate yours then race it with your friends.
What you'll learn
This project will wow your young engineer with it's simple to assemble design and exciting speed. The Solar Racer is a great tool to teach the fundamentals of solar energy, power conversion, motors, and real world solar application. Once assembled the Solar Racer moves at a fast pace (fast adult walk in full sunlight) and provides hours of exciting racing fun.
What's included
This is 1 individually packaged kit. Each Solar Racer kit includes everything you need to build your racer including written instruction cards and video instructions. The entire project requires no tools to build with components that easily pop together with friction and hold tight. We highly recommend decorating your Racers for extra fun. Washable Markers, Sharpies, or craft paint work wonderfully and allow for a wide range of decorating options(markers not included).
Build time
Depending on how you decorate your Solar Racer it usually takes about 20-25 minutes to build a racer.
Recommended age
We recommend the Solar Racer for anyone aged 8 and up. Younger than 8 we recommend building with an adult.
