Winners Announced
Students from Arkansas high schools participated in the 2010 Arkansas Electric Vehicle Rally on Friday, April 30, at the Pulaski Tech – South Campus. The students competed in an exciting and challenging mix of competitions designed to test the teams’ and their vehicles’ abilities.

Throughout the year, students complete a variety of activities related to the EV program, developing presentations and taking part in a wide range of projects.
