Welcome!

The purpose of the Michigan State University Solar Car Racing Team is to work towards encouraging and innovating sustainability. Our current project, Brasidius, is a completely solar powered car. Brasidius will serve as an example of what environmentally friendly technologies are available today. It provides students with the opportunities to develop teamwork skills, be self-motivated, and explore alternative energy technologies.
