This will be a design project where the students will create a t-shirt design for an upcoming Solar Car Race using digital fabrication. The Junior Solar Sprint (JSS),https://www.usaeop.com/program/jss/ provides a hands-on opportunity for students to apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts, along with leadership and 21st century skills such as creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, as they design, construct, and race a solar-powered car. The students were told to think of a logo design that incorporates the Solar Car Race, and our school name, Warrensville Heights Elementary School or school mascot, the tigers. The t-shirt design will begin with google draw.
