Rocket Project at UCLA

03/07/2023

Rocket Project at UCLA is officially halfway through our 2023 UCLA Spark crowdfunding campaign, and have reached just under 60% of our goal, thanks to the support of 40 generous donors! However we still need YOUR support to make this campaign a success.

Our Spark campaign link is: https://spark.ucla.edu/rocketproject

We still have 2 weeks left, so please donate if you haven’t already and encourage your friends, family, and coworkers to do so as well. All donations up to our $10,000 goal also receive a match from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. With your help, we can continue providing industry-quality experience to the next generation of rocket engineers!
