University of Michigan Solar Car Team

FIVE DAYS until the Solar Trek! Big thanks to for supplying us with high-quality race crew jackets as we travel across the country and for embroidering them!

TEN DAYS until the team travels 2,000 miles across the country on the Solar Trek! As we drive from Troy, Michigan, to Los Angeles, California, we’ll be making stops along the way to visit our sponsors, fellow solar car teams, and a science center. 🗺☀🚗

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜

Today, we are celebrating the women on our team who help make everything we do possible!

Today, we welcomed visitors from Towsley Children’s House! Our team loved showing them Millennium and answering questions as they learn about velocity in their lessons. Always exciting to meet future Wolverines! 💛💙

After an exciting year, celebrating our team’s 35th anniversary with alumni and our community, we’ve had a successful recruiting cycle with members who are hard at work on our new car. We’re very proud of the progress the team has made in the last few months and can’t wait to share more details in the upcoming year!
