After competing with teams all over India in Kshitij and Techfest,it's time to move on.Here's a rough sketch of what we'll be involved in the coming months:
Long term goals:
Club Unwired's immediate long term goal is to compete in BAJA SAE conducted by SAE in January 2010.Read about it here.
Club Unwired is also going to participate in Aero Design again conducted by SAE,which has the who's who of the aerospace industry(such as Lockheed Martin,NASA) as the sponsors.Click here for more info.
Coming Soon:
We plan to conduct a formal inaugration of the club in the NITC campus with an air show (of our own RC Electric Glider which we took to Techfest) and a star gazing night. Video conferences and talks are also on the cards.
On the R/C front,we plan to construct a R/C Car,work for which has already begun.
Club Unwired also plans to start a very own Community Radio (CR) Station for the college.The formalities are being sorted out.
NITC ians can also expect regular seminars on fun technical topics to provide a respite from the monotony of regular classes.The seminars will be held by members of Club Unwired and on a weekly basis.
Star parties - Sail through the universe with Astro Unwired,Club Unwired's astro community.
Tons of activity planned for the year ahead,so don't miss out on any of the action.Stay tuned.More updates soon.
PS:
We are currently seeking sponsorship for club activities.We have approached several companies (such as NAL,HAL etc) and are happy to say that we received a positive response from them.Sponsors are welcome :)

Astro- Unwired
Apart from radio controlled gadgets and aerodynamics, the members of Club Unwired possess a passion for viewing the heavens above. Equipped with a D-75 reflector telescope we are able to obtain breathtaking views of the moon and a good close up of the starry sky. 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy and we definitely don't want to miss out. As a start here are some inspiring images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Enjoy!
