Cement limousine is ready for the hill

 

“Class of 2005” is Concordia’s entry in the Concrete Toboggan competition, slated for Feb. 2 to 6 in Calgary.
Left to right are Walter Chan, Danny Polifroni, Amanda Ceccarelli, Lisa Pensato, Winnie Yip, Dominique Simoneau-Ritchie and Armineh Farzaie. At least 20 students are building the toboggan and fundraising for the trip.

Amanda explained, “Our toboggan is going to be our limousine and we are going to dress in prom attire for our technical display day at the competition.
“As for the design, less is more. Our running surface is a simple slab. The structure is made up of two roll bars and a railing connected to a piece of sheet metal, which will be epoxied to the surface.”
