Team Sponsorship

Thank You
A sincere "thank you" to all of our financial and in-kind sponsors, large and small, who support the valuable educational undertaking the solar vehicle project represents. Through your generosity, we have been able to provide real world, hands-on experience with the complete product development process to interdisciplinary teams of undergraduates. The "product" may be a solar vehicle, but the process takes it from a blank computer monitor to an operating system of diverse technologies in a team environment. We know students benefit from the experience. One of our generous sponsors refers to the project as "the farm club," which develops young professionals who understand what a "project" is and who know how to work on a team.

Becoming a Sponsor
A Sponsorship Request Proposal has been prepared by team leaders. It outlines our plans, the budget and sponsorship benefits. To receive a copy or setup a meeting with team leaders, call Prof. Patrick Starr Financial contributions can be made out to: "U of M Foundation - Solar Vehicle Project," and sent to Prof. Patrick Starr at this contact address contact us page.
