Nearly 50 high school students from West Michigan will attend an
electric car workshop at Grand Valley State University on November 15.
Students will learn about a wireless technology that will help them at
the National Electric Cart Association races this spring at the Berlin
Raceway in Marne, Mich.
Students will learn how to apply Wireless Data Logging, a
technology that transmits data from a vehicle and allows teams to
advise drivers on how to improve performance during a race. The
workshop will be led by Grand Valley electric engineering professor
Andrew Sterian and Coopersville High School senior John Booth.
