Support UBC AeroDesign

UBC AeroDesign needs your help to build and send our innovative aircraft fleet to compete at SAE AeroDesign 2024 in Van Nuys, California!

Project Description

UBC AeroDesign is not just a team; it’s an aerospace adventure! With a dynamic crew of 73 members, we’re not just aiming high—we’re soaring towards ambitious missions that make engineering come alive. We’re not just participating; we’re in it to win it. Competing in the SAE Aero Design Micro and Advanced Class Competitions, our aim is to secure a spot in the top 3. Our mission goes beyond competitions. We’re working to generate interest in aerospace engineering, connecting with communities across British Columbia, and inspiring the next generation of engineers.

Challenges and Impact of Your Support

Heading to the SAE Aero Design 2024 in Van Nuys, California is a pricey venture for us. The whole deal—travel, accommodations and getting our aircraft there—adds up. Without the financial backing from crowdfunding donors and corporate sponsors, attending the competition might not be feasible.

That’s where your help comes in. Your donation isn’t just a number; it’s the lifeline that ensures our UBC team can proudly represent our university and Canada on the global stage. Whether it’s a small or big amount, your contribution is vital in getting us one step closer to our goal. Your support truly matters, and we’re grateful for any help you can provide. Thanks for being part of our journey to the SAE Aero Design competition!
