Student Groups – Midnight Sun Solar Car

Note: This article is hosted here for archival purposes only. It does not necessarily represent the values of the Iron Warrior or Waterloo Engineering Society in the present day.

Founded in 1988, Midnight Sun is a student-run organization that designs and builds solar cars to compete in solar challenges around the world. As the largest student team at the University of Waterloo, we welcome students from every faculty to get involved. We’re divided into mechanical, electrical, and business teams. This gives us the opportunity to draw from a large pool of talents, resulting in a unique solar vehicle and an ambitious team that showcase the diversity of abilities required to run a solar car team.

With over 20 years of experience in building and racing solar cars, our team provides hands-on and innovative opportunities, allowing students to develop their creative, technical, and leadership skills. From conception to track testing, every step in creating the solar car allows students to gain real world practical knowledge, beyond what can be attained in a classroom setting.
