Join the nearly 800 students from around the world who will provide public tours of their fully functioning solar houses at the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon on October 8-11 and October 15-18 from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Orange County Great Park. This event is FREE and no RSVP/ticketing is required.
The participating students are studying architecture, engineering, urban planning and other subjects and have imagined and created and built each solar house.
Also visit the Great Park’s Children’s Activities area adjacent to the Solar Decathlon Village during the event for FREE face painting, balloon artists, inflatables, children’s activities and the Farm + Food Lab.
On October 9, 15 and 16 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m the Solar Decathlon is also hosting FREE Education Days. These days in particular are perfect for elementary and middle school field trips for Orange County’s private, public and homeschool charters in the area.
