For the third consecutive year, UTSVT members wowed students at Bridge Point Elementary during Science Day, a day in which students were able to attend lectures from members of the Austin community. UTSVT members engaged students in a presentation of what the team does and a conversation about renewable energy and the basics of how electricity works.
Afterwards, students were invited to experience solar power for themselves by connecting a solar panel to a car to make it run. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, everybody was stuck inside and members had to use artificial lighting to power the cars.
Nevertheless, students left the lecture exclaiming "That was awesome!"
