Please join us on Friday, January 30th at 6:00pm at the Michigan International Auto Show at DeVos Place. You will get an up-close look at student-built vehicles and hear directly from teams at local colleges about the engineering decisions behind their designs. We will also be presenting donation checks to support repairs, improvements, testing, and other program needs. There is always a lot to see, and the depth of technical knowledge the students bring to their projects is consistently impressive.
