UPDATE!


We promised to keep you updated, and we promise to keep that promise. As long as you keep reading, we'll keep filling you in. Here's what's happening in first and second period biodiesel:

Each project just keeps progressing. No one team is stuck at a standstill.

The car team is continuing their sanding efforts in order to repaint the car. They are almost finished and the paint colors are still being decided on.




The "aquaponics" team is a new addition to the biodiesel classroom. It is a combination of the roof team (model of the solar roof) and the hydroponics team, who was interested in creating an all natural ways of hydroponics.


The paint crew is finishing up their murals around the classroom. Right outside, they have repainted the base of a power converter that was covered in graffiti. They are planning another mural for one of the inside walls that desperately needs repainting.


The planter-box team is going strong. They're replanting, rebuilding, and relieving the classroom of its hideous foilage. They've fertilized the soil and prepared it for the new addition of plants. They are very excited about the actual planting, which is happening within the next couple days.


Let us not forget about the biodiesel...
Every student in 1st and 2nd period biodiesel has COMPLETED their biodiesel productions!


We will soon be dumping all of the classes' biodiesel together in our storage tanks. The tanks have spouts to distribute the biodiesel when necessary, example being when the car needs fuel.  



Keep checking back to see our progress.
We appreciate your support and growing interest in our program!
