MINDDRIVE Students To Unveil KC's First 3D-Printed Electric Car

Students from MINDDRIVE, a project-based learning organization, will unveil an experimental 3D-printed vehicle at the Kansas City International Auto Show. The electric car, designed by high schoolers, is 12 feet in length and looks like a formula race car. 

Guests:

  • Steve Rees is MINDDRIVE’s Co-Founder.
  • Lizett  and Luis are both MINDDRIVE students.

You can see the 3D1 at the center of the main hall at Bartle Hall Wednesday from 3 p.m.  to 10 p.m., Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.  to 6 p.m.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.

Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. As KCUR’s news director, I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate.
