A little catch-up on pictures I couldn’t post earlier this week… due to internet issues at home.<\/p>\n

Gabe, Austin. Jack and Will are all freshman at MMU. This year they competed in the Winter Carnival Grand Prix. The idea is to build a human powered car and race through the halls of the high school\u00a0 banging into things. We got together a couple of times this week up at David’s and used his shop. The kids designed\u00a0 and built the car themselves. .. It was a cool design, 4 casters mounted on a wooden frame with a sloping handle with a crosspiece. for pushing.. They painted the whole thing the freshmen class color.. salmon .. (salmon?!?!).
