WyoTech rep Tanner McDonald spoke to the Automotive class students last week. He not only caught the attention of a few students, but he also offered to be a part of our Rat Rod project.
Students and Mr. Harris have been designing some shirts, including Don's Machine as well as WyoTech. (Pictures are works in progress.)
