The Description

The HTHNC Solar Engineering club is a group of students who gain experience in everything from project management and leadership to mechanical and electrical engineering by constructing a solar powered boat. This all culminates into a weekend long competition where schools from all over come together to compare their boats. 

The HTHNC Solar Engineering club has been around since 2010, and we've been evolving ever since. Whether you have years of experience or not at all, our club is a welcoming and educational experience. Aside from engineering or project management skills, we are a very tight-knit team and we make every effort to include everyone. 

With these funds we will be purchasing equipment necessary for a successful year of solar engineering. We are in need of a variety of miscellaneous bolts and fasteners and such, which will cost around $100 and 4 batteries at $400 a piece.

With your help we can make this year even better than the last!

If we do not meet our goal we will purchase as much as we can!!

About the Creator

I was born and raised in Texas, where I met my wife working part time durning high school. We raised three exceptional, successful children. I made a career in the international arena of commercial and industrial building products, where I was in charge of six branches in the U.S. and Mexico.

After our children finish their educations I decided to follow the mantra of Monty Pythons Flying Circus "and now for something completely different" and become a high school science teacher.

Every year I have been leading a team of future engineers into designing, developing and racing a solar boat in the Metropolitan Water District annual Solar Cup Race against 40 other high school teams.

I have a passion for the my subject and all of science and believe that learning is a life long endeavor. My hope is to instill this passion for science and learning to all the students I work with.
