Local High School Students Build Electirc Vehicles

CLEWISTON, FL. -- Students from local Southwest Florida high schools embarked on an innovative STEM learning adventure this weekend, thanks in part to Florida Power & Light.

The local schools received ELECTRIC VEHICLE-building kits and training materials donated by FPL as part of the Electrathon America program, which provides hands-on opportunities for students to learn about engineering principles as they design, build and race electric go-karts for competition.

Participating schools in the EV kit event included Dunbar High School, Port Charlotte High School, Immokalee High School and Clewiston High School.
