Previous Projects with UW College of Business Students

During the school year, Z4 sponsors University of Wyoming College of Engineering student senior design teams and Laramie High School STEM Lab students to design, build and test alternative energy powered vehicles.

Project #1, A 100% wind powered land racing vehicle is designed and built to compete in the Celebration of Wind race held in Rawlins, WY each year in late April or early May.

Project #2, University of Wyoming students design, build and test an all-electric mini baja style off-road vehicle.

This work is funded by Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium.
