Kids Build Soybean-Fueled Car
Feb. 17, 2006
..........
A car that can go from zero to 60 in four seconds and get more than
50 miles to the gallon would be enough to pique any driver's
interest. So who do we have to thank for it. Ford? GM? Toyota? No
just Victor, David, Cheeseborough, Bruce, and Kosi, five kids from
the auto shop program at West Philadelphia High School
The five kids, along with a handful of schoolmates, built the
soybean-fueled car as an after-school project. It took them more
than a year rummaging for parts, configuring wires and learning
as they went. As teacher Simon Hauger notes, these kids weren't
exactly the cream of the academic crop.
