Race the Sun
Race the Sun is a movie focused on high school student who are competing on race using customize solar powered car. It all started when a new enthusiastic science teacher arrived at their school and motivated their student to do the project. It is actually a science project to promote solar energy.
There was once a science fair conducted near their school and the science teacher required the student to go to attend the science fair. One of the students was amazed on the display which showcase to solar power. This solar powered display is owned by certain student who, by that time was being sponsored by one the companies who are producing photovoltaic.
This group of student is not actually one of those in the honor role, instead, they are one of those low ranking student in the campus. But after the science teacher introduces the solar energy to the class and through photovoltaic system, the teacher described how the energy should travel from the photovoltaics to the batteries and to power the car.
In short, these students decided to pursue the project to build a solar powered car. At first, they could not assemble the car and their teacher noticed this problem. Their science teacher talked to the shop teacher to help the student, but the shop teacher could not agree because of the behavior these students are showing. But later on, the shop teacher agreed to help the students to build the car. Luckily the captain (student) came up with a good design to be built and he got the idea on the cockroach.
To sum it up, Race The Sun is a good movie to be watched. Movie writers and producers should be doing such movie like this one to promote not only the use of solar energy but also to showcase how mother earth should be treated.
