Solar Challenge
In 1990, a solar car team from Konawaena was the first high school team to complete the World Solar Challenge. The 1996 movie Race the Sun, starring Halle Berry, Steve Hogan and James Belushi was loosely based on this story. Bill Woerner, the real-life teacher who led the team, later founded the charter school West Hawaii Explorations Academy.
