Starting up again


Today, the members of the Energy Center are happy to working on their biodiesel projects once again following a short period of regular class. During this time, the students made their own biodiesel as well as going over a chapter on momentum. All projects that were in progress have been started back up, including building the planter boxes, working on the biodiesel-powered car as well as doing a general clean up in order to get the building looking neat again.
