Updates on 8th April 2024: Team arrived at Airbnb at Hinds Ave, North Hollywood, CA 91605 and will be staying next 9 days. They need help from locals (food, rides, errands)

Updates on 31st March 2024: Airbnb booked for 9 days stay and airlines tickets booked too

Updates on 1st March 2024: US Visa approved for 13 students and a faculty.

Unfortunately, no financial help from local state government and political representatives.

Last few days were extremely stressful with mid-term college exams and preparing the logistics of testing of our aircraft for the competition, arranging the parts to ship, pleading to various airlines on accommodating our parts etc. Few of us had to reschedule our mid-terms.

Hi, we are Team Maverick-Pune India, the stellar aero team from PCCOE-Pimpri Chinchwad College Of Engineering, Pune. Last year, we clinched the top spot at SAE DDC 2023 at India.

Not many get such an opportunity, but, this year, we have been selected to represent one of Indian teams to participate an event at Los Angeles, USA. The event called "SAE ADC West, California 2024" https://www.sae.org/attend/student-events/sae-aero-design-west

Unfortunately, the college can't cover our expenses due to a limited budget. With lack of financial help from local state government and representatives, we have to bear the cost ourselves.

Our dream depends on you. To turn these dreams into reality, we need your support. Every contribution, no matter how small, touches our hearts deeply and brings us closer to make our trip possible. Join us on this inspiring journey as we reach for the sky and ignite aerospace innovation in India.

From April 7 to 17 2024 (10 days), we will travel to Los Angeles, California, to participate in this competition.

Address: Apollo XI RC Field at 6201 Woodley Ave, Van Nuys, CA 91406

Our team of 14 students (5 girls and 8 boys) and a faculty member are visiting USA first time in a big city, Los Angeles; we struggle to find accommodation, lodging, transportation etc. at reasonable cost. Being newbies to USA, we need your help prepare logistics of the trip.

To get an idea, these are our expenses from last year: 2023-24
