Welcome to the Oregon Solar Car Team
The team was started in 2007 by Thomas Stueve under the name Oregon High School Solar Team. The team has been fueled by dedicated and determined members since its inception since 2007. The team has built to solar-powered cars: Heliocentric, Helocentric II, and Lumidos. Two of these cars have raced on the Texas Motor Speedway for the High School Challege 4 times in total. Our team is currently working on our third car called Lumidos, which has been created out of carbon fiber with forms from Standford’s solar car, under our new name Oregon Solar Car Team.
We build and race solar-powered cars made from carbon fiber and titanium, We develope essential marketing and STEM skills in our members who are abke to act professionally. Our team builds cars, but we also build passion, knowldege, and a work ethic in our team members.
