Thank you for being a part of the GoAERO Community!

Here are a few important reminders and resources: 

Updated GoAERO Guidelines webinar

All Teams should review the UPDATED Technical Rules webinar we hosted on April 4, 2024. It is an important resource that provides an in-depth review of the rules and requirements for the competition and includes a lengthy Q&A. We encourage you to watch it.

Intellectual Property

A reminder that Teams will keep all of their Intellectual Property, except that Teams will grant limited media rights to GoAERO so that GoAERO can publicize and promote the Competition and the Teams.
