Hi everyone!
I would like to preface this message by thanking everyone who was a part of this fundraising campaign. It has been an amazing experience and we here at Rogue Aerospace are very grateful for all of your support! The results of this campaign blew us away, thank to all you amazing donors! For those of you who selected perks, they will be completed by the end of this month and hopefully shipped out by then. If you are based outside of NY/NJ, please email me your shipping address to rogueaeronyc@gmail.com so that I can create the shipping labels. Thank you again to everyone who has been part of this amazing journey!
WOW! We did it everyone, we reached our $10,000 goal! I am truly grateful and humbled that 144 people decided to donate to our project, it truly is an amazing milestone for our project and our team as a whole! A few things to wrap up with since the campaign is coming to a close. First, our first presentation with the judges at the competition went exceedingly well, scoring at top 10%. Secondly, concerning the perks that many of you have selected. The perks will be coming in January, I will be contacting all you of individually about shipping locations. For some of you there were prior arrangements for pickup, so I will also be contacting you about those. If you have not received your perk by February, please contact me at jh5639@nyu.edu.
To wrap up, I am immensely proud of my team and the work that they have done to allow this project to flourish as it has, and we could not have done it without the support of you amazing donors! Thank you for allowing us to reach our goal! Rogue Aerospace to the top!
We have reached 100 donors for our campaign! All of you fantastic people have allowed us to blast off way faster than we ever thought we could! As of writing this update we have 71% funding with 29 days left in the campaign. I believe that in the last 29 days we can get the last 29% of our funding, all thanks to our 100 donors and any and all future donors to come! In addition, some competition progress updates for all of those interested. Our team has submitted the first round of presentations for judging and we will be presenting our presentations next week on December 7 from 6-8PM. This is our chance to show these judges what NYU Tandon is made of! We could not have gone this far without all of your support! Stay tuned for more progress updates as the weeks go by!
Hi everyone!
As you can see, we have reached our 5000$ goal! We here at NYU Rogue Aerospace cannot thank you enough for your support and it has truly been an amazing experience running this program! We also noticed that our large scale support has been flowing nonstop and we believe that we can go past our initial 5000$ goal, as such our revised goal is to reach 10000$. The additional 5000$ would specifically cover rocket building materials, electronic equipment, and rocket motors/propellants necessary for the competition. The original funding goal aimed at covering transportation costs to Virginia for Battle of the Rockets, competition fees, and prototype testing. If the public support keeps going at this pace, we have no doubt that all our goals for our program can be fulfilled to the best of our ability and beyond. Interest in our team has expanded (see the roster of team members on our Rising Violets page) due to our outreach at NYU Tandon School of Engineering due to a new generation of aspiring future engineers and rocket scientists, as our team has had the attention of Chandrika Tandon, our namesake, and also the new illustrious dean of NYU Tandon, Jelena Kovačević! We hope to keep this drive alive for the foreseeable future and to continue inspiring future generations! Attached to this update is the link for the Battle of the Rocket Competition that we will be competing in for the spring (http://www.rocketbattle.org/) for those that would like to see the competition firsthand. For all past and future donors, make sure to keep a look out for future updates as will be try our best to let all of you know and see our progress as this our program evolves! Also, the program still accepts donations above the listed goal for those that are wondering :) .Many thanks again and we hope you continue with us on our journey skyward!
In the last three days we have more than doubled our donation amount, from 36% to 74%! This could not have been possible without the support of family and friends, big shoutout to New Jersey with 37 donors! Concerning the perks and delivery times, they will all ship sometime in December, make sure that you fill out the selections if you chose a shirt or laser engraved fin! Again, a huge thanks to everyone who has donated and we have high hopes that we will reach 100% funding!
As of writing this update, we are 46% funded! I would like to write this update as a sincere thank you to everyone who has donated to our program, a huge shoutout to all of you amazing donors! In addition, we have 2 weeks left in the crowdfunding period. The amount of support we have earned has blew our initial expectations away, I hope that it keep getting blown away! Thank you all again for your support!
Hey everyone!
We have currently raised over $1700, which is a crazy amount! A rocket sized shout-out to all new donors as well as to all old donors! A brief announcement concerning the perks, if you had donated over $100 and you wanted a tshirt, there previously was not an option to select a shirt size. You may contact either of the project owners Jefferson Hu or Riley Paterson to clear that up in order you get the size shirt you want. Again, many thanks to all that have been so generous!
Hi everyone!
As you can see, as of one week of launching the project we have had $1200 graciously donated to us by 8 amazing donors! We never expected to see this kind of generosity, and this amount of money will propel us ever higher skyward by contributing towards the costs of electronics and rocket materials. Every dollar counts, and we encourage all future donors to be just as amazing as the previous!
You will receive a signed card from the team at Rogue Aerospace thanking you for your contribution!
This perk grants the donor a small 3D printed space shuttle! Great desk decoration!
