UBC Solar Brightside: Join the Race!
Help us compete at the 2024 American Solar Challenge in July with Brightside, our newest car!
Project Description
UBC Solar is a dynamic student team dedicated to crafting solar-powered race cars with precision and purpose. We prioritize efficiency and offer invaluable hands-on learning experiences for UBC students. This July, we’re revving up for the American Solar Challenge and could really use your support with travel costs, competition fees, and accommodation.
Challenges and Impact of Your Support
As a team, we confront two major challenges: time and money. While we tackle the time crunch through our members’ unwavering dedication and organization, the financial hurdle remains one we can’t clear alone. Despite juggling full-time studies, our team is a well-oiled machine, driven by passion and determination to bring our projects to fruition.
However, when it comes to finances, we rely on the generosity of sponsors to provide the crucial support needed to build our car, Brightside. But to make it to the competition, we need your backing too!
Your support fuels the future of sustainable technology. We’re not just racing for glory; we’re racing for a cause. By participating in the American Solar Challenge, we’re spreading the message of sustainability far and wide.
Together, let’s drive change, empower students and pave the way for a brighter, greener future!
Are you an organization or business and want to support us? Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available. Give through our Corporate Giving and Sponsorship page or contact us by emailing juliaaz@student.ubc.ca to discuss further.
