THANK YOU!
We did it! Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach our goal! Success is not a solo endeavor and we’re not done yet! It takes more than $2,500 for our team to build a car every year so any additional support will greatly help our team push forward and engineer new possibilities for our car team!
The Final Mile!
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! We are more than 80% of the way to our goal. There are less than 4 hours left to donate. That's less than the endurance race our car will compete in next April! Help us keep our car moving for all 4 hours! Go 'Cats!
$10
Nuts, Bolts, and Washers
These are the things that literally hold our car together!
$20.19
Fuel
Fuel keeps our car moving! We use the same fuel you put in your lawnmower or car. Also a special shout out to the seniors aka the class of 2019! The extra 19 cents will keep us going a little bit longer!
$50
Electronic Sensors/Equipment
Our team uses data acquisition to capture and track a car's performance. This data is then used to build a better car next year!
$75
Competition Registration
Competitions are where we showcase all of our hard work! Competitions include both business and engineering presentations, along with our car competing in various dynamic events that culminate in a 4 hour long endurance race. Your help will continue to allow us to attend these events and showcase Northwestern Engineering.
$100
Sheet Metal
Sheet Metal is used in numerous parts of our car. It is also used to train new members in machining. Your contribution will help us train 10 new members or finish a large sheet metal competent like our firewall.
$250
Carbon Fiber
Carbon Fiber is known for extreme lightness and strength; for that reason, it's a great material to use for our car! With each passing year, we're increasing the amount of carbon fiber we use, and this will ensure we can continue doing just that!
$500
Aluminium Block
We use large bricks of aluminum to machine various components of our car, including our gearbox housing. The costs add up fast! This contribution will ensure we can build our pedals, hubs, uprights, and steering rack!
$1,000
Steel Tubing
Our entire frame is built from certified steel tubing to ensure the car's safety. The frame is the building block of our entire car, and without it, we wouldn't exist. This contribution will ensure that we will have a frame and will be able to build a car!
