UD Red Bull Chariot Races

Flyer Innovations is having their final general meeting this Sunday. They are going on a nature walk to find some stimulus! Fun fact of the day, that is how the idea of Velcro came about:

"The invention of Velcro happened when George de Mestral came home following a hunting trip with his dog. This hunting trip was in the beautiful Alps. When he came home, he realized there was something stuck to his clothes. This was also visible on the fur of his dog. His natural curiosity for things led to the examination of these objects under the microscope. The objects in this case were the seeds of burdock. With the help of the microscope he realized it had tiny 'hooks'. This is what made it 'stick' to things in a jiffy. This itself gave rise to the thought of how the substance can be used to bind two surfaces together. This was what made him curious to know ways to implement the usage of his current discovery."

Just planned the first meeting for the new and old members. To say the least we are pumped. Everyone will have a blast. This is the first great idea of many for fun meetings this semester.

We have had a great turn out at our information session and first new member meeting. It is safe to say we are very happy in the direction the club is going. First old member meeting this Sunday, and the last new member meeting this Tuesday!
