Based on a true story, this film is set in Hawaii, where a new schoolteacher attempts to jumpstart her lazybone students by suggesting they enter a science fair. The pupils agree, and build a makeshift solar-powered car. But the kids set their sights beyond the science fair, and enter a regional solar vehicle race, which they win.

Can the plucky teens beat the odds and win with their homemade car? [Less]

A spunky film that celebrates a school teacher's enthusiasm and its positive effect on students.
