Our Aspirations

TEAM DAKSH II, just like any other racing team has the ultimate goal of winning. With this main objective in mind, our team narrows its focus to a group of supporting goals which serve as guidelines for the team’s functioning and development. Our primary objectives are as follows:

• Student Development – NASA moonbuggy competition enables students to gain hands-on experience. The real world management, leadership, and design skills learned through these competitions cannot be equalled in the classroom.

• Visibility/Partnerships - As well as providing a two-way relationship between students and alumni/industry professionals, we extend our network to promote sponsor visibility. Without support from businesses, civic organizations and individuals, our team would not be able to compete annually in NASA MOONBUGGY RACE. Therefore we feel it is our responsibility to make GEI TEAM DAKSH valuable to sponsors by maintaining strong relationships with them and integrating sponsor visibility into our team’s foundation.
