On Tuesday, September 22, the University of Kentucky Solar Car Team took Gato del Sol III to Rockcastle County Middle School to present to the student body. Throughout the day, over 500 students visited the car on the school football field. We were amazed with the insightful and intriguing questions that the students came up with. Our visit followed a project by a number of students in 6th grade Science BRAVO, in which they built their very own model solar cars. A number of the students had the pleasure of seeing the school principal, Mr. Coguer (@JasonCogurer) drive a couple laps in the car around their track. Jill Owens, a graduate of RCMS herself, provided a full circle perspective to the students. We were excited to be able to support all the endeavors of the middle school, and promote education directed towards majoring in engineering.
