3rd year is working hard as they come to their last production weekend before presentations. They have crits today at 1:30 and will have several people from El Dorado National here to see what they have designed for the coach provided. 3rd year students will be going back and forth between presentations inside APD West and checking out the full scale models out in the coach. Four teams will present their designs and they are all VERY different. Everyone is welcome to check it out, but please realize only our guests from El Dorado National will be engaging the students inside the coach (due to space limitations). Great job 3rd years! |
