Charles City County High School’s Solar Team placed first in the State Kidwind Challenge competition on Apr. 23 at Virginia State University. The team constructed a snow plough robot with a solar opening garage to let it out. The group won the regional competition in March at Old Dominion University (pictured above) to advance to state competition.
