JSS 2007 Championship Results

Congratulations to all who competed at this year's Sprint Championship!

With over 115 teams pre-registered, the Science Museum Quadrangle filled up quickly as more than 275 middle school students from across the Northeast vied for recognition of who built this year's fastest, best crafted, most innovative, and finest technically-designed model solar cars. This year also saw the addition of one new category, Re-Use, for best re-use of used materials and, for the second year, students chose their own favorite cars in the category of Student's Choice. Here are this year's top award winners.
