Fifth District Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske and the 5th District Solar and Sustainability Taskforce are sponsoring the 2nd Annual Long Beach solar Grand Prix. 149 teams comprised of over 500 Long Beach Middle and High School students will compete for top-spots in speed and design on Saturday, April 9, 2011.
Due to overwhelming student interest and registration totals for the 2011 event, the Solar Grand Prix will take place at El Dorado Park, a larger location than last year. The United Brotherhood of Carpenters has responded to the increase in participation and will construct an additional 10-lane track.
