Before Christmas, alumna Clara Norenberg (Class of 2021) visited to talk to our students about her adventures in Engineering and life studying in Zurich. Clara competed in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2023, a solar-powered car race across the Australian Outback.
The challenge sees teams design, engineer and build a solar-powered car to race over 3,000 kilometers from Darwin to Adelaide.
As she delved into her experience in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, Clara shared the intricacies of building and racing a solar-powered car across the unforgiving terrain of the Australian Outback. Her vivid descriptions painted a picture of collaborative problem-solving and the sheer joy of crossing the finish line.
Clara recounted her time at Oxford High, highlighting the pivotal role the school played in nurturing her interest in engineering and environmental issues. She credited her teachers and the robust STEM programs at Oxford High for laying the foundation that empowered her to excel in her career.
