Hi Lowell and Shawn (w/ cc to FLEAA D/L),
I recent met Dr. Wafa Khalil, a science educator who has for many
years been
teaching courses on renewable energy, solar and wind, at the Maritime
and
Science Technology High School, also known as MAST Academy, on
Virginia Key
in Miami. Dr. Khalil has invited me to bring my Toyota RAV4-EV to
MAST
Academy's 11th Annual Solar Celebration on Wednesday May 2 from 10am
to
2:30pm. In a conversation I had with Wafa last Sunday at the Key
Biscayne
EarthFest (www.earthfest.us), she told me that she is very interested
and
would really like to start an EV program at the MAST Academy to
convert
gasoline cars to electric, but she said that she needs some help from
anyone
who has experience in setting up a high school EV program. Dr. Khalil
is
highly knowledgeable and skilled on the electrical side (I'm not sure
what
her PhD is in, but I suspect probably either physics or electrical
engineering), but she said that she does not have much in the way of
mechanical skills with things like welding, so that in particular is
where
she needs some help and advice or referrals.
I told Dr. Khalil that the Florida EAA has just the right people who
could
help her with that for setting up an EV program at her high school and
specifically mentioned Lowell and Shawn to her. I told Wafa that I'd
put
her in contact with the two of you. Here is her contact info:

I am also cc'ing this message to the entire FLEAA D/L in case there
are any
others of you out there who might be able to help Dr. Khalil. If so,
feel
free to contact her.
By the way, after a live interview I did Sunday morning (from around
9:10 to
9:12am) with Miami ABC Channel 10 at the Key Biscayne EarthFest, a
number of
people who came out to the event later that day told me that they had
seen
me and my electric car on TV in the morning.
Thanks & best regards,
