Chem-E-Car Competition

The Chem-E-Car Competition is an event where student teams design and build small vehicles powered by chemical reactions. The goal is to create a car that can travel a specific distance using a chemical energy source, such as a reaction in a battery or fuel cell, without external power. Teams must carefully control the reaction to ensure accuracy and consistency in distance traveled while adhering to safety and environmental guidelines. This competition demonstrates principles of chemical engineering, energy conversion, and problem-solving, combining scientific knowledge with engineering skills to produce innovative, functional vehicles.
