"Spirit of the Event" Award: Helping new friends at the 2016 Shell Eco-marathon
During the 2016 closing ceremonies in Detroit, our team was very surprised to win the "Spirit of the Event Award" together with Troy High School of Troy, Michigan. We admired how the Troy team refused to give up to the very end, and we were happy to help! Next year, we're sure they'll make it to the Shell Eco-marathon with a car ready to hit the track!
Read about this award from Shell's official press release:
"Spirit of the Event Award: Team Troy (Michigan) High School and Team James B. Dudley (North Carolina) High School, which over the past year cultivated a friendship built on respect and the desire to collaborate. Dudley High helped the Troy team realize its dream of competing in the Eco-marathon. It donated parts, tools, advice and guidance to the Troy team, which has been practically self-driven, raising funds and working long hours on its vehicle. And even though the team's car was destroyed 11 days ago in a flooded basement, team members built a new vehicle from the ground up, inspiring every team they worked with in Detroit."
