4. Copy and paste this paragraph in the description section:

"Chem-E Car is a student project within the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) that challenges teams across the nation to design and create a shoe-box sized car that runs autonomously through chemical reactions. I will participate in a research team to calibrate and improve the effectiveness of our stopping mechanism. I will also perform experiments with our powering mechanism, in order to test the functionality of our voltage-generating mechanism and the precision of our stopping mechanism. Finally, I will participate in the rigorous calibration and test runs of the car. These results will be vital to our car's performance at the Chem-E Car regional competition that takes place each year at the AIChE regional conference."

5. Once you submit, Click Print Contract and save the PDF version onto your computer.

6. Email both the SRP contract and training certificates to uclachemecar@gmail.com
