"This [workshop] really filled in all of the gaps [in my EV knowledge] and was worth traveling all the way from Vietnam. Also, to have very knowledgable sounding boards to throw my questions to was invaluable. A great bunch of guys."

"I just completed the 5 day course in Switch Labs to build this car. I didn't believe it at first...that we would build an entire car from scratch, but that was a frame just 4 days ago. With the curriculum and the hands-on experience it's really motivational and relevant to today's kids. I'm excited to implement this program at our school."
