electricThe book says “Sometimes your students are the only ones crazy enough to believe in you.” I say “it was great to read about believing in students!” Anyone want to build a car?

Electric Dreams takes place in a poor rural North Carolina High School where beating all the odds, both a young and a veteran teacher, and a diverse group of students work to build an Electric car in about 6 months. The student’s go from “ ya, sure teach! Are you crazy” attitude to competing in the Electric Car Grand Prix. This is no model car, like my students are building, it’s a real, drive yourself to school kind of car! You guys want to move up in size!

Mrs. LeTellier – Science Teacher
