April Monthly Report

This month our team successfully completed the documentation. We used a lot of new technologies to aid us in creating our documentation books. The students in grades 9-12 are 1-1 with Macbooks.  This enabled the students to collaborate and share ideas when they have technology at their fingertips every minute of every day. Matthew W. a member of the Advanced Computers class helped us construct a video for the A-21 car’s documentation. Jenae G. and Anna B. worked all semester on developing the journalistic layout. With the help of others in the Power Drive class, pictures were added to the topics to give a more polished result. Once the documentation was completed, our documentation specialists digitally transferred the files to the judging committee.

 The Cuming County Open was a huge success! We had tons of dedicated volunteers helping us set up the race, work the concession, throw bales and clean up. Without our volunteers and sponsors that race wouldn’t have been possible. Our A-21 car ended up finishing 3rd, and unfortunately the E-31 car got in an accident.

            The team has continually been working on the S-20 car in order to get it finished for the Hastings race that is held on April 20th.  We have also been testing our batteries hoping to make improvements in our finishes.
