Illini Solar Car Visits Chicago Auto Show

Calypso, the newest solar-powered vehicle built by the Illini Solar Car project, made its debut at the Chicago Auto Show this month! It's the first time a car built by the U of I student organization has appeared at the nation's largest auto show. The 2024 entry will compete at the Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix in July. A grant from the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC), which allocates student fee revenue from the Illinois Green Fund, supports the Illini Solar Car's 200-member project team!
