As you may have seen on our stories, we are starting our new SEVT Day in the Life series! If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a student at MIT while also being on a build team, this is for you!

For the next ~10 days, five different members of our team will be showing their daily routines and how they manage SEVT + their summer commitments! You can see all of this on this account’s stories, so make sure to keep up!

Sophie is a Course 6-5 (Electrical Engineering with Computing) from Boca Raton, Florida (but originally from Singapore)! Outside of SEVT, she lives in Connor 3, is a guitarist, and is currently participating in a UROP in the Photonics and Electronics Research Group!

Isabelle is a Course 3 (Materials Science and Engineering) from New York City! Outside of SEVT, she enjoys painting and is a part of the MIT Association of Taiwanese Students! This summer, she is UROPing in the Wallin Group and helping out with SEVT!

Grace is a Course 2 (Mechanical Engineering) who grew up in many places, but mainly New York City! Outside of SEVT, she is part of MIT Resonance, AXI, dynaMIT, and enjoys doodling! This summer, she is working at MIT WTP, a residential summer program for high school girls that introduces them to the wonder of MechE.

Ian is a Course 6-5 (Electrical Engineering with Computing) from St. Paul, MN! Outside of SEVT, he is part of ADP, Video Game Orchestra, and enjoys climbing! This summer, he is working for West Coast Solutions, an aerospace company based in California!

Osadebamwen is a Course 2 (Mechanical Engineering) from Lagos, Nigeria! Outside of SEVT, she is part of AXO, International Students Association, and Ring Committee! This summer, she is UROPing in the Distributed Robotics Lab at CSAIL!

Pranking the team with fake questions

Original real questions:
1. What is the cutest animal in the world?
2. Have you gone on a run today? Are you planning on doing that soon?
3. When you're bleeding breaks what do you do with the reservoir?
4. What's your favorite candy?
5. Where is the battery cooling system located in the car?
6. What would you do if a metal doesn't fit?

Huge thank you to the MIT Gordon Engineering Leadership (GEL) Program for supporting the MIT Solar Electric Vehicle Team as a Silver Tier Sponsor!

Beyond their generous support, the GEL Program empowers many of our team members to become stronger engineering leaders through hands-on training in teamwork, communication, and decision-making. These skills extend far beyond the classroom and play a vital role in helping our student-led team tackle the complex challenges of designing, building, and racing a solar car.

We’re incredibly grateful for GEL’s continued investment in both our team and the next generation of engineering leaders. Thank you for helping us grow as engineers, teammates, and leaders. ☀️⚡
