"Construct activities, toolkits, and trainings are always so engaging and thorough. Almost all the Bend La Pine middle schools are now doing the electric vehicle challenge! We are currently brainstorming how we can even do some sort of virtual summit so that all students can see the other middle schools' designs. We are so excited!"
