Car Club is a new, non-school-sponsored club that has started meeting outside of school, giving students an opportunity to learn engineering skills. Sophomore Adit Swami sat down with reporter Neel Patil to discuss the future of the club. The club has begun building a go-kart with an engine that they collectively fundraised to purchase.
