Clarkson Shines in OktoBAJAfest Competition
Clarkson engineering students did the university proud recently, taking first and fourth places in the annual OktoBAJAfest competition at Seven Springs, Colton NY.
Ten universities from the United States and Canada brought 17 student-built vehicles to compete in the off-road competitions: short track, Baja cross (testing suspension and maneuverability), hill climb, technical inspection, and final endurance.
Seven Springs is a 65-acre property with a 250-foot vertical drop and miles of mountain bike and Baja trails.
Our Clarkson team showcased their creativity and engineering skills, placing first in the Baja cross competition and fourth overall.
Events like OktoBAJAfest provide invaluable hands-on learning experiences, allowing students to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world scenarios. These opportunities foster teamwork, problem-solving, and innovation - skills that are essential for their future careers.
