EV CHALLENGE

Hosted by Waterloo Engineering, the Waterloo High School Electric Vehicle (EV) Challenge encourages students to design and test their own electric car in an annual endurance competition. This car is a rear wheel drive with custom designed and machined suspensions, steering, and frame. I decided to partake in this challenge in-order to further develop my mechanical engineering skills, whilst practicing my personal strengths through teaching.
