Program Overview
Where curious kids become solar engineers — after the bell.
In this class, kids stimulate their creativity by designing and building epic, solar-powered cars from easy-to-assemble parts. They'll also build solar-powered cranes, lift bridges, and many other designs.
Let your little engineers explore the world of solar energy while learning how to problem-solve and stretch their imagination — all in convenient after-school time slots.

From Past Camps
Inside the workshop.
Real campers, real builds. The energy in these rooms is contagious — even the parents stay to watch.
Parent Reviews
From the families who came back.
My daughter came home talking about photovoltaic cells. She's seven. Go Solar! Kidz made science feel like an adventure she wanted to keep going.
Four mornings, four builds, zero meltdowns. The instructors are calm, patient, and clearly love what they do. We've already signed up for next summer.
He's still racing his solar car around the kitchen floor a month later. Worth every dollar and then some — and the take-home project hooked him on engineering.
