Our History

The SUNY Korea Solar Team was founded with the mission of pushing the boundaries of sustainable energy technology through student-led engineering.

The initial conceptualization and formation of the team. Gathering of the core engineering leads and establishment of long-term goals.

  • Team Formation
  • Core Leadership Development
  • Initial Design Concept Definition

The official commencement of the SUNY Korea Solar Team. Beginning of the internal Fusion 360 CAD education program and early conceptual designs.

  • Official Club Recognition
  • Fusion 360 Education Program
  • Initial Conceptual Modeling
  • ASME Partnership
  • ANSYS Sponsorship Procurement

Finalization of the vehicle design and physical assembly of SAMJOKO-I. Implementation of real-world track testing to validate simulations and perfect race strategy.

Logistics, shipping, and active competition in the 2029 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge bridging Darwin and Adelaide in Australia.

Participation in future international solar races as future cohorts iterate and improve upon previous generations' designs, building a legacy of sustainable engineering.

More detailed milestones, technical breakthroughs, and operational updates will be documented here as the team progresses.
