Saint Thomas Academy Experimental Vehicle Team

Saint Thomas Academy Experimental Vehicle Team Located in Mendota Heights, MN, the Saint Thomas Academy Experimental Vehicle Team (EVT) has compete

The Saint Thomas Academy Experimental Vehicle Team was created in 1998 to take students out of the textbook and provide budding engineers with real-life problem solving activities. Students are pushed to realize that science is not always easy, does not always work, and that the answers are not always at the back of the book. In the past 25 years, students on the team have designed, built, tested,

and competed with small one-person vehicles that are as varied as the contests they were built for. The team has put its inventive talents to use in Supermileage, Electrathon, The World Human Powered Ice Race, Solar Bike Rayce, The National Indoor Electric Ice Vehicle Challenge, the Dell-Winston Solar Car Challenge, and most recently, the Shell Eco-marathon.
