Student-Built Electric Cars to Race at Chattanooga State 3/24

On Saturday, local middle and high school students will race electric cars they built at the inaugural Chattanooga Green Prix. WUTC 's Jordan Thompson has the story.

From the event's Facebook page:

Join green|spaces for the inaugural Chattanooga Green Prix! Over the past school year, 8 local schools have been designing, building and testing electric power race cars! Teams will be represented from Nolan Elementary, Woodmore Elementary, East Lake Academy, Dalewood Middle, Howard High School, CGLA, CSLA and Stem School. The event is free and open to the public!
