More than 120 high school students from West Michigan will attend an electric car workshop at Grand Valley State University November 10. Students will learn about aerodynamic drag on race cars during a presentation and demonstration.
The workshop will be led by aerospace engineer Taylor Irwin, an affiliate professor of engineering at Grand Valley who spent 12 years working with space systems at NASA and in California.
