The Missouri S&T EcoCAR team discussed its commitment to educating people about green energy and the importance of conservation and efficiency during Legislative Day at Missouri’s State Capitol earlier this month. The event included research groups from the University of Missouri’s four campuses: Mizzou, UM-Kansas City, UM-Saint Louis, and Missouri S&T.

During the day, the team spoke with legislators, members of the community, student lobbyists, the student leadership of Missouri 4-H, and engineering students and alumni from universities throughout Missouri.  It was a successful event for the MS&T team because many attendees expressed an interest in sustainable and clean energy.

The month of March brings spring break, St. Patrick’s Day and the collegiate basketball tournament, March Madness! The Madness is well underway and while the remaining 16 basketball teams are getting ready to battle their way to victory this week, the “Sweet 16″ EcoCAR teams are focused on their own prize: qualifying for competition during the Year Two safety and technical inspections. The teams are working through the vehicle integration process and feeling the pressure before Finals. The competition is fierce and we look forward to seeing which teams finish on top this year!

We wish both the EcoCAR and NCAA “Sweet 16″ teams the best of luck. Be sure to watch Ohio State University and West Virginia University, in the men’s tournament, and Mississippi State , in the women’s tournament, on the court this week!

We are expecting a barn burner!
