The team includes students from nearly every discipline and is quickly becoming the largest student organization at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Sunrayce 97 is a biennial intercollegiate event open to all universities in North America. The race is sponsored by General Motors ( GM), Electronic Data Systems ( EDS), and the Department of Energy ( DOE). This unique event showcases the imagination, ingenuity and teamwork of 60 graduate and undergraduate teams in the development of highly efficient, electrically powered vehicles that are fueled by a viable, renewable and sustainable energy source - the sun. This exciting and demanding long- distance race across America's runs June 19 to 28, 1997. In 1995, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology placed sixteenth our of thirty- eight teams, received the " Best Use of Technology" award, placed highest among " rookie" teams, and was presented the " Humanitarian" award for their efforts. The Dakota Sun Solar Motion Team hopes to transcend these accomplishments while on the road from Indianapolis to Colorado Springs. The Sunrayce is a shining example of how much is possible with commitment and determination to the improvement of sustainable energy development, and the importance of public and private partnerships in making innovation a reality. The Dakota Sun Solar Motion Team is seeking sponsorship from corporations, associations, and individuals willing to assist the production of the # 1 competitor for Sunrayce 97. Providing support will help prepare future scientists and engineers for the workplace and helps improve the quality of education in the field of alternative energy research.
