Argonne High School Autonomous Vehicle Competition teaches participants about teamwork, engineering, planning and problem-solving skills. Conner Schroeder, a senior at Guilford High School in Rockford was prepared for minor fog. But he and his teammates were unprepared for a “torrential rain” on the obstacle course. Knowing there wasn’t much they could … [continued]
