BURGESS Hill Business Park Association members have come together to support Ardingly students’ bid to win the World Solar challenge in 2019.
Time 24 and Cirrus Laser are helping pupils from Ardingly College to build a state-of-the-art solar-powered vehicle, in the hope that it will drive them to first place in the Australian solar competition in two years’ time.
Burgess Hill photographer Paul Noble became involved with the project as he documented the students’ progress at the Cirrus Laser factory.
The pupils, who are as young as 13, have been building an ultra-design solar car for more than a year, working on designs in Science and Technology classes before building their inventions on weekends.
Manufacturing specialists Time 24 have lent a helping hand with wiring and connections for the project, while Cirrus Laser recently created the car’s trailing arms.
