Forest Hills — Students in Forest Hills Northern High School’s Drive program recently earned major recognition at the Square One Innovative Vehicle Design Competition, bringing home multiple top awards for their student-built electric vehicle.
Led by AP Physics 2 teacher Elbert Yeh, the team competed against other schools in engineering and performance challenges focused on innovation, teamwork and vehicle design.
FHN Drive was named the grand champion, and earned first place for innovative design and second place in performance.
Over the course of the project, students worked together to design, build, test and improve their electric vehicle while applying concepts learned in physics and engineering.
The experience gave students the opportunity to solve real-world problems, collaborate as a team and think creatively under pressure.
Additionally, students created and implemented an ambassadorship activity at Northern Trails 5/6 School to inspire younger students to get involved in STEM-related activities.
