Technology and imagination came together at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on May 20 when 53 teams from 18 Colorado middle schools turned a parking lot into a raceway. The students used the technological know-how picked up in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) classes to design and build model electric cars. Powered either by a solar panel or a lithium-ion battery, each car competed in time trials and double elimination races. The final races, between eight cars competing in each category, were over in less than 10 seconds.
