 Residents of Yokosuka Naval Base attended the annual Energy Conservation Awareness Fair at the Navy Exchange Red Brick area. Educating Yokosuka residents was a focal point of the fair but the main event was a solar car race between Yokosuka middle school students sponsored by CBs from Yokosuka's Public Works Department. We provided the students with a solar panel and a motor and told them build a car and we're gonna race it and it was pretty exciting. We had eight teams show up and then they pretty much drag raced for about 20-30 feet and we had winners for first, second, third place and a innovative design winner. Winners received certificates for their ingenuity but every participant gained a working knowledge of alternative ways to engineer the future. Petty Officer Kirk Putnam, Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan.
