A group of middle school students from Hockessin have earned the top honor in a prestigious solar-powered vehicle competition held at the University of Delaware.
The winning team represents Henry B. du Pont Middle School and secured first place during the 2026 Solar Racer competition on the Newark campus. The event challenged students to design and build vehicles powered entirely by solar energy.
The achievement marks a significant accomplishment for the young engineers, who competed against other teams in the annual science and technology challenge.
