On June 29, 2022, students gathered at Tempelhofer Feld to participate in a race with self-built electric cars organized by New Hope and Light e.V. The central theme was “energy” \u2014 addressing the inequality in its distribution and consumption, as well as future requirements. The goal is to produce energy more sustainably and use it more efficiently. Children, in particular, are intended to be educated on this matter, improving and implementing their knowledge and skills through practical experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Children are building their future.<\/b><\/p>\n

The SolarCup was organized for the first time in Berlin as a regional competition. Students constructed their models in advance during workshops at their schools. With professional guidance from the “New Hope and Light Team,” they built basic models and then customized them according to their own visions and ideas. From small caravans to wheeled sailing boats, solar-powered vehicles of various designs were created. The enthusiasm and creativity of the children resulted in an impressive variety of models.<\/p>\n

The participants gathered at 9 a.m. at Tempelhofer Feld near the community gardens on Oderstra\u00dfe. First, all models were inspected to ensure they complied with the rules. Subsequently, each group presented their poster and model. The children designed posters and prepared a presentation.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, the groups raced their models against each other. In an exciting competition, the electric cars engaged in an incredible race.<\/p>\n
