GC students get revved up to build new Ultimate Mileage Vehicle

GRUNDY CENTER — For the fourth time, Grundy Center High School students and industrial technology teacher Kris Seitz will again construct a prototype for the Ultimate Mileage Vehicle (UMV) competition, just one of many contests at the Iowa Industrial Technology Exposition at Southeast Polk High School in rural Des Moines held each spring.
“The first car we made was made out of a couple bicycles,” Seitz said. “The second was made out of aluminum C channel computer server towers that Bob Munson donated, and the car this year will be made out of aluminum, but it will be a three-wheel car, making the car go farther and faster.”
