The American Solar Challenge, a 2,300-mile solar-powered race featuring up to 40 cars on a 10-day journey along historic Route 66, and the UNM, are looking for volunteers to assist at a local checkpoint at UNM July 19-21. Volunteers of all ages are being sought to participate in the world’s longest solar car race.
The race, which begins in Chicago, Ill., on July 15, is one of the events planned along the famous American highway during its Diamond Jubilee. Several opportunities to volunteer, either individually or as a group, are available to interested parties. The American Solar Challenge Solar Scout volunteer program enables youth of all ages to support the solar car race by learning about solar power, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Children can earn a Solar Scout badge, which is a bright and colorful tribute to solar car racing and historic Route 66. The American Solar Challenge Solar Scout program enables youth groups, scouts, teen groups or schools to learn about solar power and the applications of science while participating with the American Solar Challenge program. While youth groups are encouraged to participate, youth who are not part of a group and senior citizens are also welcome.
There are two methods of registration for solar scout program. Individuals, youth groups and or school groups can register by completing the on-line form at http://www.formulasun.org, or by calling Laura Caron at (303) 275-4090. Interested participants are encouraged to register as soon as possible. Registration forms must be received by July 10.
