Should be considered... If students like hands-on courses where they learn about technology, engineering and design. Fundamentally they will learn how to solve real world problems. Examples of projects may include but not limited to problems within transportation systems, medical devices, environmental concerns, renewable energy, electricity, agriculture, smart phone technology Examples of projects conducted in past classes (but not guaranteed) RC Cars, Robotics, Olympic Bobsled, Gravity Racers, Wind Turbines, Solar Cars, CO2 Cars, Rocket Stoves, Water Rockets, Smart Phone Tripod, 1st Level Scientific and Technical Visualization I Should be considered... If students want to learn at their own pace (similar to online course) on the computer everyday this class is for them. Projects include 3D animations, GPS Geocaching, Photoshop editing, Adobe Illustrator, Creating Weather Maps, Creating a virtual Moon (like google earth), and Basic Engineering/Drawing procedures to create Blueprints using AutoCad 1st and 2nd Level Advanced Manufacturing I and II Should be considered... If students like hands-on courses that focus on skills needed for our current advanced manufacturing workforce. This will lead into WCC's CNC Machining courses. Examples of projects may include but not limited to 2D/3D CAD, 3D printing, robotics and flow into the next steps to manufacture machined solutions they create in class.

Google Gravity Car preliminary sketch complete and new-old BPS system installed that reveals some errors in our new BPS system which is not good. New Miata bushings take on a very unusual characteristic. They climb out mysteriously on their own.... Internal Combustion Engine Topics include 4 and 2 stroke engine design and all configurations (V8, V6, Inline 4,6). Students conclude with experiencing the inefficiencies of an engine.Tesla Battery Build, Miata Gets Bushed, STEM GEN 2 Cycle Design GEN II STEM Cycle Design, Miata Gets Bushed, Blog upgrades, T-Shirt Prep,and Tesla Battery ConstructionWest Wilkes High School Electric Vehicle team began in 2005 to give at-risk and underserved high school students of the Appalachian Mountain region the opportunity to learn about different forms of alternative energy focusing on the transportation sector. Notable projects over the past 12 years include: three full size street legal electric vehicle conversions (and countless modifications and upgrades) receiving over 100 awards; solar charged remote control 1/10 scale racing vehicles that compete at the STEP Challenge at North Carolina State University; a STEM Cycle which is a single passenger electric vehicle that competes at the NC EV Challenge; Search and Rescue Robotic competition; and numerous electric golf cart modification projects. Each year the most devoted students will spend over 400 hours - totaling thousands of team hours (outside of normal school classroom time) working in the shop on projects, competing at events and presenting at school initiative events promoting alternative energy technologies.
EV Scholarship Basics: The EV scholarship will be for any West Wilkes High School EV student (or students depending on the size of fund) regardless of grade level. The scholarship will be awarded to a student/s that has demonstrated superior work ethic and EV related accomplishments. The scholarship check will be made out to the student with proof of purchase for tuition, books, or other college type expenses. In the event the student selects a military route of higher learning then the check would be made out to the student directly upon proof of enlisting. Application Process: Applicant will submit: 1) A resume that outlines community involvement, jobs, and EV Team accomplishments. 2) Essay that explains why they deserve the scholarship. (Financial need may be considered) Selection Process: West Wilkes High School has a scholarship award committee that will review and make recommendations for the scholarship. Mr. Tolbert is not part of this undisclosed committee. Final selection will be made solely by the committee.

Contact Email: tolbertc at wilkes.k12.nc.us Creativity Award, Best Solar Charger Award, 1st Performance Race, 2nd Endurance Race, Fastest Lap Coach Tolbert states: The entire event was a challenge for the team. Going into the event I was out sick for several days which is a critical time for any team to prepare for an EVent. The team boarded for travels to Raleigh, NC at 5 am on a holiday weekend and returned by 6 pm. The team really pooled their resources and efforts together and accomplished their very best. At NC State the team worked harmoniously together. Everyone assumed their position and executed. This EVent is one that will not be forgotten. Special Thanks to Bill Tolbert, Mrs. McNeil, Mrs. Tolbert, The Dauers, Mr. and Mrs. Ritenour, Mr. Cothren, The Perry Family, All EV Team Parents, Mrs. Pruitt, Mr. Johnson, WWHS faculty, Hobby Barn, Appstate Solar Vehicle Team, Mr. Boedefeld at Independent Solar, and The Race Place (and all the racers there for their tips and competitive races). Thank You Mr. Pybas for your relentless time, efforts and financial support of our program. Thank You 2017-18 Sponsors and Supporters for believing in these students and program: Page Interworks, Hobby Barn, Golf Cart Catalog.com, Perry's Service Center, Tyson Foods, Carolina West Wireless, Flyin' Miata, Sherwin Williams, Castle Creations, I-Lap Timing Systems, Foothills Restoration Werks, Mike's Body Shop, Independent Solar, and Wilkes County School System Thank You Lord for guiding Dr. Day and Dr. Hefner in my care and Thank you for answered Prayers! EV fifth period girls; Zoe and Katelyn finished STEP challenge TC4 paint scheme and completed first day of driving laps with the TC4. In addition, Davis ordered all performance upgrades. As a final accomplishment of the day the girls learned basics of designing the solar panel charging station. |
