Solar Team Twente

Struggling with COVID-19 😷 Building a solar car alone is difficult enough, but a global pandemic makes it even trickier. Physical distancing and uncertainty have been major themes since 2020. What will the race in 2021 look like? When can we all sit together in one room again? We would not be Solar Team Twente if we didn’t like an extra challenge: most meetings are now online and whenever we have to come to the office, we disinfect, keep distance, and wear face masks. How is your team dealing with COVID-19?
