Program accomplishments
- 2025 WAS A REBUILD YEAR FOR THE PROGRAM. DUE TO DIFFICULTIES IN FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, THE PROGRAM WAS REFOCUSED TO ONLY A FEW STUDENTS, AND THE LOTUS EXOSPHERE, WHICH HAD PLAYED A LARGE ROLE IN 2024, WAS SOLD TO FUND OTHER LOWER-COST PROJECTS THAT PROVIDED THE STUDENTS WITH MORE RELATABLE MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE. THE YEAR UTILIZED MULTIPLE PORSCHE RACECAR PROJECTS AS WELL AS A CHAPARRAL PROJECT, AND MORE COACH BUILDING-FOCUSED ACTIVITIES, BUILDING CARS FROM PARTS, RATHER THAN TUNING AND REFINEMENT THAT WAS OFFERED IN YEARS PAST. ALTHOUGH THE PAST FEW YEARS HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING FOR THE PROGRAM, THE STUDENTS WERE STILL GIVEN AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES AS POSSIBLE, WITH MANY OF THEM GETTING RELEVANT AND FULFILLING JOBS IN THE WORKFORCE.Expenses $158,395 · revenue $16,409
