OVERVIEW
WHY PINK?
The #PinkRocketProject is a tradition passed down to BLT by its predecessors. The idea is to show the future generation of engineers that women can be in STEM related fields just as much as men. Our outreach program is also tasked with the same objective while encouraging local high school students to participate in rocketry.
WHAT'S ITS CURRENT STATUS?
Currently, Theseus is in its final stages of design. Once the design is finalized, Theseus will begin fabrication. Our team is always open to sponsorship opportunities to help us prepare Theseus for its launch at the end of the school year.
WHO'S WORKING ON THESEUS?
With Ricardo Martinez (Chief Engineer) at the helm of the project a under the guidance of
Dr. Mahdi Yoozbashizadeh (Faculty Advisor), the team is working hard at bringing Theseus to life.
