Westbury Middle School technology students recently earned top honors at the Junior Solar Sprint Challenge (JSSC).
Through the JSSC students develop teamwork and problem solving abilities, investigate environmental issues, gain hands-on engineering skills, and use principles of science and math to get the fastest, most interesting, and best crafted vehicle possible. JSSC challenges students to use scientific know-how, creative thinking, experimentation and teamwork to design and build and race high-performance solar electric vehicles. Students learn by doing.
