Getting ready for the Eco Symposium!







We are starting off this week already on a good note. Over the weekend, team members Brandon and Rob had the opportunity to speak on WINZ 940AM radio station about our Solar Car. We also had our car seat dropped off by Donnie Balding. Everything fits perfect. SK3 is currently in good working condition, thanks to the whole team. This week we plan on setting up for the Eco Symposium along with putting the finishing touches on SK3.
