‘The first to go:’ CU Boulder student clubs lose on-campus working space due to burgeoning enroll...

Inside a narrow, single-car garage, Mia Abouhamad and Jarrett Bartson sat close together as they designed an aircraft. Although their space was small and was illuminated by a dim overhead garage...

We didn’t get access to our garage til January 2022, which combined with a lack of available resources, put us out of competition. Now, we’re facing being back to where we started with no space.

While we’ve received significant help from those within the department, it seems like the higher-ups couldn’t care less. Every single lead that has put time into DBF has secured a summer internship since the program started.
If you support higher education in STEM, one of the most direct ways to make an impact is to support student orgs Orgs like @CU_SRL provide life-changing, team-based, hands-on opportunities open to all students. Link to our Crowdfunding to help ♥️: give.communityfunded.com/o/u…

This year, we are incredibly proud of our design. We designed a low-wing, vtol aircraft capable of taking off and landing on water. More design photos to come!

Ok. I wanna see something. Y’all have probably heard me go on a million times about how much DBF means to me and how much I want them to have a workshop for years to come. If we did crowdfunding, like this if you’d donate or help spread it around :)
