Drexel U’s Mechanical Engineering Department is hosting an awesome human powered vehicle race in Fairmount Park April 17 thorugh 19th, with teams competing from 50 colleges and universities around the US.

This is a huge and incredibly cool event, free to watch, and should prove a great way to spend a day with eco friendly transport folks who are part of our future. There are competition categories covering design and presentation, as well as the purely technical and speed aspects, so expect some rigs that look as well as they perform.

Bicycle up to Memorial Hall to watch the speed races, or over to the Mann Music Center for the endurance races. Bring friends… and bring a picnic lunch!
