Design a Solar Car!
Design Sunny the Solar Car and race it on a virtual track
Discover solar power activities for kids with BrainiacKids! In this Brainiac Thinking Lab challenge, kids aged 6–8 design Sunny the Solar Car by choosing solar panels, wheels, and tracks to learn how solar energy powers motion. It's a fun way to boost critical thinking and STEM skills through interactive play.
Perfect for STEM activities for 6-year-olds, this game teaches the basics of solar energy in a fun, engaging way. Children will develop problem-solving skills as they experiment with different car designs to find the best combination for speed and efficiency.

Your Learning Guide
Welcome to the Solar Car Challenge! Let's design a car powered by the sun!
💡 Solar energy is renewable and clean - it comes from the sun and doesn't pollute our planet!
Design your car by choosing solar panels, wheels, and adjusting settings.
💡 Real solar cars must balance panel size (for energy) with weight (for speed). It's all about finding the perfect combination!
