- Abstract:
The author describes how her team ShopGirls won prizes for the fuel-efficient car they built. The ShopGirls is composed of female students in Grade 10 to 12 from Granite Falls High School. Michael Werner, a manufacturing instructor, proposed the idea of fielding an all-girls team in a fuel-efficiency race. The team won the Eco-Marathon's Diesel Prototype Category for a diesel-powered car that uses only 1 gallon for 470 miles. Praises for the team's car called 'Iron Maiden" are also included.
