Alternative Energy Club - Leading by Example

Chico State Alternative Energy Club Solar Regatta

Students in the Alternative Energy Club competed in the California Solar Regatta sponsored by

SMUD

The event took place at the Rancho Seco Recreational Area on May 14th with nine teams from universities and colleges from across the state racing their solar-powered boats. All teams are provided two solar panels, but all other components are designed, built, or bought by each team. The Chico State team made up of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering and Agriculture majors, designed and built their boat from scratch. When Chico State arrived at the competition, they were so well prepared they spent the morning helping other teams troubleshoot their electronics, loaning out parts, and lending a hand. Chico State's Alternative Energy Club received the "Leading by Example" award for all their hard work and support. Go Wildcats!
