This is what Greg has been working on since the last half of the last school year. He is the President of A.S.M.E., the Engineering student club at WSU. A.S.M.E. is also a worldwide professional organization for engineers at all stages of life. Every year they hold a conference at one school in each district, and this year it was at WSU. There were six schools from the area that came to compete. Greg spent time putting the conference together by making hotel reservations for all the participants, organizing with catering services, making the schedule for the conference, setting up registration and determining registration fees, determining the location of certain competitions, organizing and coordination with volunteers...etc. Besides that, he also worked on two design teams to build the R.C. Baja car and to build the Mars Rocks Robot. This is a slide show of the car races. This event happened Friday night for a few hours starting at 7:45pm. We didn't find out until the banquet/awards ceremony that Greg's car won 1st place! He was pretty excited about that. He got a nice certificate and $200 prize money to split with Ben, who helped work on the car with him. (Ben is in orange in the slideshow.)
I'll make another post soon to tell you about the robot competition.
