Teens build electric car powered by Twitter, Facebook posts

Brücke-Osteuropa

For this year's project, #Minddrive decided to set a higher bar by challenging the students to build a car powered by tweets and Facebook posts.  In the past several years, Minidrive has converted three other vehicles to EV, then taken them on cross-country drives.

Starting with a busted 1967 Karmann Ghia, the 21 students from five Kansas City-area schools stripped the car to the bare metal, then rebuilt it, swapping the original Volkswagen engine for a lithium-ion battery pack and electric motor.

All you have to do is a random act of kindness and hashtag #minddrive on Twitter in all your tweets.
