MTU Brings Alternative Energy to Middle School


This morning, three members the Michigan Tech EcoCAR team took a trip up the hill to Houghton Middle School. The goal: teaching students about alternative energy vehicles. An unusually cold day forced activities to stay inside, but that didn't ruin the fun. Mr. Peters' 7th Grade Technology Class had the opportunity to build and test model fuel cell vehicles while learning about the advantages and disadvantages of the different energy sources. The overall experience was beneficial for both the Houghton Middle School and the Michigan Tech students. The team is planning on visiting Mr. Peters' class again next marking period.
