Vol 1314 Issue 1

The SHPE is ready to fly! 

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers is participating in the Red Bull Flugtag event Sept 21!


Some of our very own 49ers will be flying at the highly-anticipated aerial event, known as Red Bull Flugtag! The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SPHE) will show off their innovative design alongside 31 other flugtag teams in Long Beach on September 21, 2013.

The event will take place starting at 10am (first flight at noon) at Rainbow Harbor in downtown Long Beach. For a map or directions, please visit the Facebook page for the event here.

The SPHE group was one of 120 teams chosen from over 1000 applicants in the United States. This is the second time SHPE has participated in Red Bull Flugtag, and this time around the team wanted to expose the audience to an important piece of Hispanic culture. They chose an important Latin American holiday for the theme – Dia de los Muertos – which focuses on the gathering of family and friends to pray and remember those who have passed away.

In reference to the holiday, the team created the theme “Viaje de los Muertos,” (translated as “Flight of the Dead”) and built a magnificent Phoenix, a symbol of "life after death.” The SHPE team has created a beautiful video and poster to emphasize the theme, which have both one 1st place in the creativity portion of the contest. You can watch the video here or on their Facebook page. If you want to follow these amazing students on their journey, please “Like” the CSULB SHPE Facebook page. The team with the most likes wins the popularity portion of the competition!

As part of the 49er Shops’ efforts to support this talented group, we are also promoting the SPHE team on the Bookstore’s Facebook page. The Shops are proud to show additional support by sponsoring the SHPE Flugtag team as they soar to new heights!
