Our Crowdfunding Groups
Hello Everyone!
We are absolutely blown away by the amount of support that we received here at WSU Everett Engineering Club. The amount of donations from friends and family, as well as members of the community, and from the greater Cougar family as well has been astounding!
We said from the beginning that every donation matters and we meant it! Every donation was a big part in our success. We also had a number of generous donors at the higher levels, and we are just as surprised as we are delighted to have such a vote of confidence, and monetary show of support for our program and future.
Together, we really can do great things! WSU Everett is a young and very special campus in the WSU community and we are excited for the ways that the Engineering Club will help promote youth STEM in the region while drawing more students into the Washington State family, Go Cougs!
With finals and holidays fast approaching, we just wanted to get this message of thanks out so that you know we are still working hard.
In the New Year of 2022 we will reach out to those that donated at some of the higher levels to coordinate the level rewards. With the amount of Oort Cloud Donors we received, we will be visiting quite a few primary and secondary schools with the Mars Rover to help inspire future engineers and STEM leaders in the area!
Also, the Moon Landing Donors ($100 or more) should be thinking about what inspiring quote they will want engraved on the acrylic rewards plague. We will be designing and engraving the plague in the New Year and are really excited to have it hanging in the Engineering Club Work Shop!
Thanks again everyone, and we hope you all enjoy a fantastic holiday season and amazing start to winter!
Sincerely,
The Entire
WSU Everett
Engineering Club
All great space explorations start on Earth. Your donation of $5 helps us get off the ground! Ground Level Donors will have their name at the base of our donor plaque hanging in the Engineering Club for all posterity.
A real feat in amateur rocketry! And we use a lot of bottles of epoxy, which are about this cost. 10k Altitude Donors will have their name at the base of our donor plaque hanging in the Engineering Club for all posterity.
"Sorry, Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower." - Maverick 30k is the competition altitude goal for Intercollegiate Rocket Competition! "Buzz the Tower" Donors will NOT be clear for a flyby ... but they will get their name engraved on our workshop donor plaque of recognition on the second tier (bigger letters than Ground Level Donors)
The official beginning of "space." It's certainly a great spot for tourism. Give the gift of the overview effect. Kármán Line Donors will get their name engraved on our workshop donor plaque of recognition on the second tier (bigger letters than Ground Level Donors)
Humans have been continuously living in orbit for over 20 years onboard the ISS! Students today in our club will live and work onboard private stations this lifetime and we are excited! LEO Donors will get their name engraved in the second tier of our workshop donor plaque of recognition.
Wouldn't it be great to go back to the moon? This level of gift is incredibly generous and is enough to purchase a single high-powered rocket motor, fabricate a carbon fiber suspension bracket for our rover, or cover the average last minute hardware store run for missing supplies. We can't thank you enough. We believe in moonshots Moon Landing Donors will have a 3" x 5" section on the donor plaque hanging in the Engineering Club workspace (where the magic happens) on which, in addition to their name, they can have printed any inspiring quote they want.
Our little red neighbor is waiting for us to come and discover her beauty while establishing a base for humanity to reach into the stars - all while learning how to best preserve the Earth for endless generations. This level of support will help get our Rover to Mars on our Rocket! (figuratively at least). In addition to previous levels of recognition, Mars Colony Donors will have their name or logo laser engraved on the competition Rover (summer 2022) as well as painted onto aft portion of the competition rocket (summer 2023).
The spherical region of icy space debris, asteroids, and dwarf planets that marks the edge of our solar system and the beginning of interstellar space. Only two human made objects have ever entered this area, and we would like to change that - sending not only spacecraft, but passengers as well! In addition to the previous recognition levels, our Oort Cloud Level Donors will get to select a local primary or secondary school at which the WSU Everett Engineering Club will bring their functioning Rover to present and inspire the next generation of youth STEM leaders.
The closest star system to our own at only a quick jaunt of 4.35 light years away! This galactic neighbor is a huge interstellar reach-goal for humanity at this point (much like this donation reward level). In addition to the previous recognition levels, Alpha Centauri Donors will have their name engraved in bold near the top of the donor recognition plaque in the club workspace. They will also have the opportunity to work with one of our designers to create a custom color scheme and rocket name for our upcoming Level 2 certification launch in the Spring, as well as a liftoff photo of their designed rocket in desktop appreciation plaque.
This level of donor has the means to facilitate a major advancement of our program, and the desire to witness the elevation of our students into world-class leaders in the space industry. With these funds we could commit to test stand facilities, student designed fuel systems, and air travel for Rover and Rocket competitions. In addition to the previous recognition awards, a Beyond Space and Time Donor will have a custom commissioned plaque made for them, have their name largely displayed on competition vehicles and above our workshop donor plaque. We probably don't have the authority to name a room after you on campus (but we can see!). Still, you will certainly have the everlasting pride in supporting future westside Cougar engineering leaders right under the nose of that other state school with too much money and terrible colors ...
