Intro
Designing and building world-class solar vehicles is no easy feat. It requires a combination of creativity, engineering prowess, communication, and public support. We are almost entirely comprised of undergraduate students and take pride in spreading our vision of renewable energy to students across all faculties. Midnight Sun has grown to become the largest student-run team at the University of Waterloo. The Midnight Sun Solar Rayce Car Team is made up of three sub-teams: Electrical, Mechanical, and Business. Each of them, led by their own managers, is responsible for various aspects of the car. Working together, our exceptional teamwork creates the success that is the Midnight Sun Solar Rayce Car Team.
Gordon Savage
Gordon Savage - Faculty Advisor
For the past 20 years, Professor Savage has been the team’s dedicated faculty advisor. As a professor for Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Professor Savage’s continual passion for the Midnight Sun Team and ambition for environmental sustainability has been inspiring the team for many generations.
Sub Teams
The team leads are our store of technical knowledge and administrative expertise. Team leads have all started out as dedicated team members and put in effort and show initiative to gain their roles. Each of them has a specific expertise and has a team of students under them who they manage to increase our productivity and to help design, build and race our vehicles.
