Interplex Industries

This week the Solar Knights team took a trip to Interplex Sunbelt. We got to see Engineers in action, while learning new things. We had an awesome time and are extremely grateful for the experience.  

Thank You!

Thank You Mr. Krause and Mr. Abad from Bentley for your contributions to the solar knights. We greatly appreciate your donations to our team and our projects.

Magnet Open House

Come check us out at the South Plantation High Schools Magnet Open House on January 26th! You will see all your favorite Solar Team Members, check out the cool cars, and see what the Environmental Science Magnet Program is all about. 

Newbies

The first official work day of the year is always an extremely exciting time. New members partnered up with the old members to start working on a new fleet of awesome solar and electric cars. Some members are starting from scratch, while others are modifying completed projects. Can't wait to see what they look like when done!   

School Board Speech

Sydney had the amazing opportunity to speak in front of the school board about the Solar Knights! It is always great to share how amazing this team is to everyone. 

Holiday Parade

This Saturday the Solar Knights attended the plantation holiday parade. We drove SK3 the whole way and got to show it off at city hall. The day consisted of holiday hats and nailing each other in the head with candy. It was certainly a great way to show the community what we do at South Plantation High.

Field Trip to Thermal Concepts

Yesterday the Solar Knights took a trip to Thermal Concepts  to see their metal fabrication shop where they cut us pieces of metal using their plasma cutter in the shape of the Miami Dolphins logo and the Miami Heat logo. They also gave us a tour of their offices, training facilities and CAD department.

Thank you Jesse M. from Thermal Concepts for giving us this opportunity to tour your company!

Presents For The Principal

This week we hand delivered our principal an honorary plaque and letter for the support she has given to the Solar Knights. Marcus Haslegrove dropped by for a visit to check out the car and to recieve his personal plaque too!  

Pony Express

This week Sydney and Jasen worked on packaging the letters, plaques and pictures for our 2013-2014 sponsors. We are also sending out letters to past and potential sponsors for this years race.

Stacks Of Plaques!

This Monday Jasen received 20 sponsor plaques from EDCO. Today Dylan, Matt, Sydney went to deliver the first one to Mrs. Henshsel the principal of South Plantation High School. She was very delighted to receive the plaque for being A part of our team! Sydney and Jasen have been looking up grants to get money. We have applied for the Motorola grant which would be $50,000 more in our pocket!
