"I was greatly impacted by my experience with the EV team, even though I did not go to any competitions with the team I learned many valuable things by helping prepare for all of the competitions. I learned a few new fabrication techniques which I enjoyed greatly. I also learned a great deal about the batteries and power systems" --Michael

"The EV Challenge this year was exciting, fun, and taught me a lot as well. While studying for the jeopardy, quiz, and the circuit board was difficult, it taught me even more about circuitry, Electric Vehicles, and alternative energy. Getting to race the car and truck was amazing and I can tell that my driving skills have increased as well since the last competition. The preparation and work that goes into preparing for the challenge may be stressful but it is fun and well worth it. I am extremely excited to attend next years EV challenge and will do what I can to be even more prepared and do better next time." -Caleb
"The things that I learned at the 2014 STEP Challenge was more than I anticipated! Working on both the electric cars and RC cars was more preferred by me. The main reason is because I had many opportunities to work with my hands." --Justus
"I had an amazing time traveling to NC State to compete in the STEP Challenge. Building, prepping, and racing the cars taught me a lot but was extremely fun at the same time. The small scale electric cars made it much easier to understand electric vehicles on a larger scale. Not only was the event itself exciting, but the people I met and spoke to was as well. The professors and recent college graduates at the event told me a lot about NC State and gave me their own opinions on certain degrees and fields of study. I am already looking forward to next year's event and can not wait to attend it again." --Caleb
"During the STEP event I had a lot of fun, and I got to meet new people and make new friends. I also got to learn how to better use a solar charging station, and better increase my knowledge on RC cars. I also learned how to maintain and repair them RC cars. One of my favorite parts was when I got to compete in the endurance event; as I was driving I learned how to drive RC cars better. While at the event I also got to interact with other groups and had the opportunity to learn from them. One thing I learned more about a lot while I was there was solar charging stations. But all in all just being able to go and take place in this event was amazing, and I can’t wait till next year. I will know how to be a better driver and know what to expect from the competitors." --Jeffrey
