A group of aerospace engineering students at the University of Alabama is hoping to attend a “Design, Build, Fly” competition in Tucson, Arizona this Spring, but they need a little help getting there.
The six seniors on the team established a “GoFundMe” campaign, hoping to use the “crowd funding” website to raise the $2,500 needed for the trip in April.
“This project is the culmination of our undergraduate education,” the members of the team said on the GoFundMe page, “and seeing it come to fruition would make the team, the faculty, and the department proud. The funding we are requesting would be used to travel to Tuscon, Arizona and stay for the four day competition. We have been fortunate to receive funding for the design and manufacturing of the aircraft, but we will not be able to showcase our design without your help.”
