Illinois Tech Ecocar

STEM Conference at Moraine Valley Community College!

Today our team had the wonderful opportunity to present to 5th grade girls and their parents from all over the suburbs and city of Chicago! We were able to share our journey in EcoCAR as well as our journey as women in STEM. We want to extend a special thank you to Mary Schoenheider and all organizers for planning this wonderful event!

This past Tuesday, our team had the opportunity to attend and table at Just DePaul’s Sustainability Celebration!

We were happy to share our goals and mission within this community. Seeing all the other organizations was inspiring as well! Thank you for hosting!

with Antonia Martinez and Aidan Gans!

Antonia Martinez is a second year finance major on the Communications Team! She joined EcoCAR because she is excited about the project. A fun fact about her is that she has a twin!

Aidan Gans is a fifth year electrical engineering major on the Business Management team and CAV team! He joined EcoCAR because the electric automotive industry has always been something he’s been interested in! He saw it as an opportunity to get started in the industry as well as bettering himself as an engineer and manager! A fun fact about Aidan is he has climbed the highest mountain in the contiguous US!

with Theodora Prosiliakos and Carter Anderson!

We asked them both why they joined EcoCAR and they said:

Theodora: “I joined EcoCAR because I am interested in joining the automotive field after college. EcoCAR presents a multitude of experiences in the field as well as giving students similar experiences as a stem professional!”

Carter: “To learn more about the current automotive industry in order to prepare myself for the work in industry!”
