Two dozen Cross Keys High School students will show off the award-winning, solar-powered car they built for a national competition.

Endeavour, which can travel at 40 m.p.h., will go on display at the school at 10 a.m. Saturday. It will parade down Buford Highway from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., resting at Chamblee's Buford Highway Flea Market until noon, before rolling to Doraville's Honeysuckle Park Fleming Sports Arena for display until 1 p.m.

The team won the Guntis Terauds Award last week at the Winston Solar Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. Information: solarcar2012.com.
