Gazette Covers Solar Grand Prix
Thanks to the Grunion Gazette for this great video covering the 3rd Annual Solar Grand Prix in El Dorado Park. The students were amazing as were their cars. The volunteers worked so hard on making the day flawless. The food trucks were a hit as were the exhibits on careers and trades in solar energy provided by IBEW and the Carpenters -- who also for the 3rd year constructed the race tracks. The Lifeguards brought ice water to fill up recyclable water bottles brought by the Carpenters.
