Argonne National Laboratory

Saturday, April 14 students will race cars in an event sponsored by Argonne's Educational Programs.

This event involves a design competition (static) and a race competition. Both competitions require students to use applied science, and engineering skills to meet technical challenges comparable to those that scientists and engineers face to provide a light-weight low-friction vehicle with efficient gearing, chassis integrity, and robust performance.

Developing a successful design requires experimentation, teamwork, and organization. For more information visit the Electric Car Challenge Web site.

The event will be held at Case New Holland at 6900 Veteran's Blvd. in Burr Ridge, IL.
