Turning Science Fiction into Reality

Students participating in the Institute of Technology's Solar Vehicle Project (SVP) are turning science fiction into reality! Through the years, students at the U of M studying engineering, physical sciences and mathematics have come together to build and race cars powered only by the sun.  The University of Minnesota’s car, the Centaurus II, is a completely new generation design from the university’s previous seven solar vehicles. Take a look at last year's solar car, the Centaurus I:

The all-new Centaurus II will be unveiled to the public on Friday, May 7, 2010, from 2:30-4:00 p.m. behind Lind Hall on the U of M campus.  For more information on the public viewing, click here.

Come take a look at a project that you could be working on as a student in the College of Science and Engineering!
