Boomer Rocket Team (BRT) and Design Build Fly (DBF) go head-to-head for Thousands Strong Campaigns

Boomer Rocket Team (BRT) and the Design Build Fly Team (DBF) are going head-to-head in launching our Thousands Strong Campaigns. Thousands strong is OU’s own fundraiser program where alumnae and OU supporters can directly help OU programs. Both campaigns go live on Monday, November 19, 2018! Both teams have a goal to raise $5000 and need  support to get them to competition.  This year, to make things interesting, both teams are racing to see who can raise the most in 30 days!  Check out the Thousands Strong Pages and please consider donating or sharing either campaign with your family, friends, and colleagues! 

The Boomer Rocket Team is a student-run team at the University of Oklahoma. BRT has been an amazing avenue to teach students about rocketry and space through research, competition and in a capstone class for senior aerospace engineers.  In May 2019, the team will be heading to Kansas to compete in the Argonia Cup, previously won by OSU for two years running. This year, We are bringing our A-game to take the Cup, but we can only do this with your support! To learn more and to contribute to the BRT campaign, check out the Boomer Rocket Team campaign page: http://bit.ly/2K7wAwq

The Design Build Fly Team has been a cornerstone of the aerospace engineering program at OU for over 20 years. DBF provides opportunities for students to explore different aspects of aeronautical engineering, from their underclassmen years through to Capstone for seniors. In April 2019, the team will be heading to Tucson, AZ to compete in the AIAA international DBF Competition. With two top-ten finishes in the past three years, we are hoping to secure OU’s first podium finish. We will make sure we design a winning airplane, we need your help to get it to competition.  To learn more and to contribute to the DBF campaign, check out the Design Build Fly campaign page:  https://thousandsstrong.ou.edu/project/12284
