Project HFM Mixer

This past Thursday, Project HFM held a mixer to get the word out on this exciting collaboration. The evening was a great success with over 40 faculty and professionals joining us and showing their enthusiasm.  As people walked around the senior studio at CSULB, they were able to view the Baja chassis, and a week's worth of work in moving toward a final design concept for both Baja and Formula cars.
After the mixer, our platinum sponsor GKDI spoke at the Duncan Anderson Lecture series, just down the hall in the design gallery. They blew everyone away with their amazing work and the motorcycles they brought to display in the gallery (a full-sized completely realistic prototype with some parts made of foam?! You can't beat that kind of skill).
Those who stuck around after the presentation, headed over to the Mechanical Engineering shop to check out the in-progress chassis. All-in-all it was a fun and eventful evening.
