Jim Mulanax

An industrial Technology educator since 1997, he hails from Humboldt State University and obtained his first teaching post at the Mapleton School District (7-12). While there, he started an electric go-kart program that began its roots as a hands-on project in applied physics. Up and rolling, the students work together as a team to design and build their vision of an efficient electric vehicle. They test, collect data and modify the project to perfect their design, and during the rally season, they compete in seven one-hour long rallies with other schools. Currently, Mr. Mulanax works at Monroe High School (9-12) teaching the same project with a growing addition that includes alternative energy and transportation in its various applications.
