Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in October. This campaign has closed, but you can still support our program by making a donation.
Thank you to everyone who got us to our original goal of $3,500!!! Our new stretch goal of $5,000 will help our members get individual hands-on experience through building their own rocket and expand our team's manufacturing capabilities.
Thank you everyone for blasting (pun intended) away our previous goal of 75%! Share our link a little bit more until our goal is reached. https://crowdfund.ucdavis.edu/project/27117
This past weekend some of our members launched their own rockets to get their High Powered Rocketry Level 1 and 2 Certifications. Your generosity will enable many more students the opportunity to participate in and enjoy rocketry!!!
We’re also steadily making progress on our next milestone report! After we achieve this, we will be able to start working on our subscale rocket thanks to the donations we have already received!
WOW! More than 50% already!!
In only one week we have surpassed the 50% barrier to build our sub and full scale rocket!!!! Thank you to all of our early donors so far who have fully funded our sub scale rocket and are helping us convince others that this club can make an impact on many students.
This week we secured a spot in the USLI competition by having our Proposal accepted by NASA ( click the link for more info https://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/news/nasa-announces-60-teams-for-2022-student-launch-competition.html ). Locally, we participated in the UC Davis Involvement Fair to recruit members and had over 40 students attend our first official meeting - an amazing turnout!! We are steaming forward with our next report which we will submit in November.
