On June 11th, eTV was home to Winnispeed, an exciting event featuring Joe Justice of Team Wikispeed building a car right inside our studio! The 100+ mile-per-gallon prototype car that Team Wikispeed created in just three months was built from scratch in a single day. eTV filmed the process as participants worked directly with Joe Justice to build the car and learn about Extreme Manufacturing, and how they could apply the same concepts and methodologies to their own context.

eTV and the Environmental Safety & Health department delivered an AED and CPR presentation to educate and promote awareness of these life saving measures.

According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, overall, the odds of surviving a cardiac arrest are almost four times greater if someone performs CPR right away. When CPR is combined with an AED and used within the first few minutes of a cardiac arrest, survival rates can increase by as much as 75 percent.

eTV streamed the event live from Studio A and it is now available on demand. To watch this presentation, click on the image below:
