On Friday, April 10, 2026, we participated in the 2026 University of South Florida Engineering Expo.Members of the Kirkland Ranch Academy of Innovation, Mulberry High School and University of South Florida teams brought their Electrathon cars out for show and tell.
Kirkland Ranch brought all three of their cars and their pit trailer. University of South Florida brought out their revamped car 132 and their new frame that they are working on for a new car.Mulberry High School had their two cars and plenty of students.We thank all the participating teams for the great showing at the Engineering Expo.
During the day, a friend from Electrathon of Tampa Bay’s past tracked us down. Terry Willingham, (Foundation for Community Driven Innovation Inc. Executive Director) met with us and hopes to partner at some future events.
We held our STEM Electrathon Event at Kirkland Ranch Academy of Innovation on Saturday, March 7th.

Our second race had 12 cars line up, Mulberry HS decided to strip the wheel from their car 100, they installed it on their car 38 to perform better, and it worked, good decision.The teams made sure to challenge each other to see who could handle the heat. Pro EV and FSCJ 32 did well against one another until Pro EV and Kirkland 555 hit each other damaging Pro EV front wheel assembly. Once again cones were a magnet for some drivers (we won’t mention Jerry’s name).
