That is just one reason why Willig, Williams & Davidson has supported high school students on the EVX team at The Workshop School in their recent quest to design a modern vehicle that runs on biodiesel fuel.

Teams of students and teachers at the West Philadelphia public high school worked together to redesign the car’s various systems and modify the body. The result was the 818, a sleek sports car that can rack up nearly 100 miles per gallon.

The team members were invited to show off their handiwork at the White House Maker Faire in June, where they were able to meet other young designers and engineers, along with celebrities Bill Nye, Will.i.am and President Barack Obama.

Public education is a driving force for good, and Willig, Williams & Davidson is proud to support teachers and all public school employees in their efforts.
