Blue Jay Racing

Project Description:

Blue Jay Racing is a team of undergraduate engineers at the Johns Hopkins University. Student team members take part in designing, building, and racing a single seat off-road vehicle against approximately 200 teams representing university engineering programs from 14 nations. The award-winning program, founded in 2004, offers young engineers an educational experience that goes beyond what the classroom can offer. In addition to technical knowledge gained during the design/build process, students also learn critical team-building skills which will be extremely important in the development of each individual’s ability to become leaders in academia and/or industry.

Project Photo:

A small off-road style race car, painted blue with the number 65, speeds down a city street during a public event. The driver, wearing a blue helmet and black racing suit, is seated inside the roll cage structure. A large crowd of spectators lines the street behind protective barriers, cheering, taking photos, and watching the race. The crowd includes people of various ages, some wearing hats, sunglasses, and casual clothing. A child sits on an adult's shoulders in the foreground, wearing ear protection. Bright sunlight casts shadows on the pavement and highlights the festive atmosphere
