High school students build electric car powered by social media - Chicago Tribune

High school students build electric car powered by social media - Chicago Tribune: High school students have turned a 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia into an all-electric car that is powered by tweets, shares, posts and likes. Turning tweets into watts will take the at-risk students from Kansas City to Washington, D.C. to “drive change in education.”

“We want to make the statement to students everywhere that they can participate in [shaping] their education,” says Steve Rees, CEO of Minddrive, “that students can have a voice.”
