The best day in any project, TEST DAY! The Technology Club crew built two fully functioning RC power wheels that wound up being faster than we thought they would. We converted an electric mini bike to run off drill batteries and gained a little power. We are still working on the EV shifter kart but the kids had a great time and made some really cool projects in our first year with this new club. Overall we had a great afternoon of playing with all the new toys we made. Great job Technology Club looking forward to what we come up with for next year. Thank you to the parents at pickup up yesterday for your patience while we took up half the parking lot. A huge thank you to all of you who donated parts and power wheels so we could make this project happen.
