A downloadable report of the 2008 Hampshire Solar Energy Challenge.
The fifth annual Solar Challenge for Schools took place in 2006. Once again the Challenge was a successful and popular event, raising awareness of solar energy technology among pupils at Key Stage 2 level.
Having heard about the success of the solar car competitions in Northampton and Kent in 2003 and 2004 the Energy Saving Trust North East Advice Centre decided to explore the possibility of holding a competition in the North East of England.
The Solar Car Challenge was to provide an enjoyable way for children to learn about sustainability and environmental issues. The challenge was targeted at the 8- 11 year olds.
