There is nothing more effective for forging teamwork than the synchronicity demanded by the race 💪

Our team started just one year ago, and we have already successfully completed our first ever solar car competition! 🌟 This experience showed our team just how much dedication, determination, and diligence is required to make an impact in this field of innovation. 💪 They fought through challenges, learned extensively, and kept high spirits throughout it all. With our first Formula Sun Grand Prix in the books, we came back home to NC with so much inspiration and enthusiasm to keep growing as a team. Can’t wait for the next race! ⚡️🏁 This picture showcases Catawba Colleges Solar Racing Team huddled together for a group picture in front of their trailer. by @catawbasvt
