Dunwoody\/Buhler Apprenticeship program allows students to work at Buhler, attend classes at Dunwoody, and even race solar-powered cars.<\/h5>\n

Dunwoody students\/Buhler Apprentices have spent the last few weeks traveling the country with a solar-powered car they helped to build. The students competed in the 2016 American Solar Challenge (ASC)<\/a> July 22 \u2013 Aug. 6, earning second place.<\/p>\n

8 days; 1,971 miles<\/h6>\n

The Challenge\u2014which began in 1990\u2014consists of a three-day track race and an eight-day, 1,975 mile road race through seven states. Students began in Brecksville, OH and travel to Hot Springs, SD, stopping at several checkpoints along the way.<\/p>\n

\"SolarThis year, checkpoints were located at nine national parks and historic sites\u2014including the Ulysses S Grant National Historic Site<\/a> (St Louis, MO), Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site<\/a> (Topeka, KS) and Scotts Bluff National Monument<\/u><\/a> (Gering, NE)\u2014helping to celebrate the National Park Service\u2019s centennial.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuhler has been involved in other solar races around the world and the solar car that we used was actually originally built by them for one of those races,\u201d Lee explained. \u201cThe apprentice students made modifications to the car so it met requirements for the 2016 American Solar Challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together, the Dunwoody\/Buhler team traveled a total of 1,971.5 miles in 59 hours, 30 minutes, and 22 seconds.<\/p>\n
