The PlanetSolar II expedition, which runs from 2025 to 2026 on Lake Titicaca, features a very hands-on educational component: the vessel is tracked remotely by Swiss pupils, who even got to step aboard before it set off for Peru. In Santi Terol’s 23 May 2025 Arcinfo article, you can relive teacher Christine Liebe’s journey in the wake of our solar boat as she shares with her students the excitement of the launch, the start of the scientific mission, and the promotion of solar energy on the world’s highest navigable lake. And now, schoolchildren in Peru have joined their Swiss “classmates” to follow the adventure together!
