EXPO was a success

The EXPO was a huge success. Thanks for all those who came out to see us!

We moved the electrical team meetings to Thursdays (meaning I can come to all of them :] ), so we will be having one of those in a couple of days.

There was a workday yesterday, Monday November 8. The highlight was Ali throwing a marble at another team member without meaning to and hitting them HARD and full on the head. :)

Next meeting Thursday!

EXPO DAY IS HERE!

Today is the Engineering EXPO at Coppell High School!

We're all at the school prepping; it starts at 2PM but there is so much to get ready.

For solar car, we have a booth inside and a booth outside, which is where the car will be situtated. Several of us are outside (we need to dress warmly; it's getting a little chilly) and a few are inside.

We hope to see you at Coppell High School between 2 and 5 PM to see all the work the Engineering students have been doing AND to visit with the 41 colleges we have coming!

Why won't the camera work?!- Prepping for the football game

Right now we are all trying to get the car ready to take over to the Coppell High School stadium, where it is going to be featured. This is the last home game of the year.

I have been trying to get the camera to work; Kaelan has managed to take one picture. Nojan is going to be in charge of taking pictures for the set up.

We have a few banners that we will be hanging around the car. (Slight detail- how will we get them on and where will we put them?) We will get it figured out soon.

The brochures are ready and we will be handing them out at the game!

3 DAYS TIL THE EXPO!

Workday Highlight: Nick and the Safety Officer Hat

Today we had a workday from 4 - 6:30 PM.

We're prepping for the FOOTBALL GAME TOMORROW NIGHT! We will feature the solar car, hand out fliers, and have it around to show off before the game and until Halftime!

This is Coppell's last home game of the season. The seniors (including me) are sad that they won't get to see any more games. :(

We set up shifts for the sophomores and juniors to participate in. (By the way, there are only two juniors: Kaelan and Trevor).

I ran through the electrical system and the basics of the car with the sophomores today. Rinu Daniel and Bella Shah, new additions to the team, took the lead in making fliers and brochures to hand out at the football game and EXPO. I worked with one sophomore, Ragho Chamkura, to make an info sheet for all the sophomores to reference, in case a veteran team member isn't there when someone is asking a question.

We all had a blast today; Nick (I swear) is going to propose to this safety officer helmet (AKA Bike Helmet) we have; it has an amber flashing light taped to its top. He might seriously wear it to school....

The team is meeting after school tomorrow to set up for the game! :)

Working today :)

Hi everyone,

Today we have a workday scheduled after school beginning at 4:00 PM. We're still planning for the EXPO coming November 7 (have I mentioned how excited we are?).

Additionally, our Electrical Team mentor, Mr. Gary Kidwell, is coming to meet with the Electrical team, as he has been doing for over a month now. We are very glad that he is helping us; currently, we are testing the capacity of the new batteries and developing a chart to measure battery statistics.

We are planning on having a day each month where we drive around town in Aurora. I'll be posting the dates that we're going to do this each month on here, so stay tuned!
