Adventure Engineering in South Australia
SASVA connects adult volunteers and industry contributors around practical sustainable transport. Sun Sprite is an iterative engineering platform for designing, documenting, building and testing systems. Possible future challenge participation is not confirmed until an entry is approved.
What We Do
Engineering solar vehicles, fostering innovation, and building community.
Solar Engineering
Develop solar vehicle systems through practical design, documentation, testing and measured iteration.
Challenge Readiness
Review long-distance solar challenge requirements while treating any future event entry as unconfirmed until approved.
