In this sixth monthly update on the Northern Tool and Equipment, Tools for the Trades Rat Rod Kart Build Off, host Dylan McCool takes us through the incredible progress made by the high school students of Minneapolis Public Schools and Lakeville North High School as they get closer to completing their Rat Rod Karts for the big reveal on June 21st at the MSRA Back to the 50’s weekend.
As these students continue to build their karts from the ground up, their grades depend on the successful completion and safe operation of their karts. With the guidance of their instructors and expertise of mentors Greg Steadman and Thad Moffitt of Petty’s Garage, they are well on their way. Tune in to see how the Minneapolis students’ true Rat Rod is taking shape, and see the Lakeville North team driving their kart for the first time!
Be sure to join us back here next month for one final sneak peek of the karts as they get pinstriping leading up to the big reveal. And, don't forget to comment, like, and share this video to support these students and help inspire more students to try shop class.
A special thank you to our build-off partners, mentors, and participating schools:
