Refine your "Fly My Ride" design and submit your proposal
You will need to submit your initial design to the San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM) no later than Tuesday, January 28.
A person can be on only one team, and only one design can be submitted per team. This is what you will need to submit:
- Your name, grade, coach's name (Don Mackay), and either an e-mail or mailing address so we can stay in contact with you throughout the competition.
- A drawing or photo of your design (you don’t need to have made it yet to enter, but you’ll need to have a detailed design draft). This can be no bigger than one side of an 11X17 sheet of paper, and should have the parts of the vehicle labeled and a brief explanation of how it works. All measurements need to be labeled. Please make a copy for your own records.
- An itemized budget for your items, because they want to see creativity, not the team with the most money winning. If items are donated or already in your possession, an estimated value should be placed on them. Using recycled or scrapped items may be a way to keep your costs down. An entry should not cost more than $30 in parts, maximum.
