Mission and Program Overview
Mission
STEM Education - Science, Engineering, Alternative Energy. The Solar Car Challenge Foundation helps motivate students in Science, Engineering, and Alternative Energy. We teach high school students how to plan, fund-raise, design, engineer, build, and race roadworthy solar cars. This goal is achieved through in-person workshops, virtual workshops, curriculum materials, mentor programs, and on-site visits. Since its inception, we have worked with more than 65,000 students in 37 states helping share the fun of STEM Education. Students enter a 15-month education cycle wherein they learn mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerodynamics, battery technology, project management, financial planning, materials technology, communications, coding, and construction skills. Most importantly, students learn life skills including dedication and commitment to a project. They learn how to deal with both success and failure.

| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Good Afternoon, We file our annual tax return at the end of each education cycle (July). I'll filed for an extension to make this possible and was granted this extension by the IRS. Unfortunately, I came down with COVID at the end of this education year and experienced severe symptoms, including "long-term" COVID. It took me several months to work my way out of the haze that followed this infection. At 79 years of age, this was quite a task. I regret to say that I just didn't understand that I had to file our tax report electronically in 2021. I sent in the regular paper tax return on September 28th and thought I had dutifully complied with the requirement. I was stunned to receive back my return last Friday with the statement that it must be filed via E-file. I immediately contacted the IRS E-file Hot Line and received instructions for how to do this. Please, please, please . . . . . accept my apologies for being late with this E-filing. I request that you not charge us a penalty so that we can use every dollar raised through donations to help with our STEM Education Program. I will be sure to follow this E-filing guideline for all future documents. The COVID haze I went through for several months was very difficult to handle. I did my best to comply under difficult circumstances. Please help support our education program by accepting this apology. I will be deeply grateful. With great respect, Lehman Marks |
