Solar Boat Race

Yesterday, February 16, 2008, we competed for the Solar Boat Race held at Don Bosco Technical College, Mandaluyong City...

Three boats that our school made we qualified to join.. but then one was qualified up to the finals.

The place was really hot because we needed the sun's solar energy to make our boats work--but everything (every suffering under the sun) became worthwhile because our school made it as the 2nd placer in the race.

Being involved in such a thing was fun.. because of the experience, and we finally found a reason why we should love Physics.. Hehehe... this was actually my first time to join a competition related to Physics. because oftentimes, I compete with Astronomy-related stuff, Computer related things, and Chess tournaments.
