RED BULL FLUGTAG

Thirteen of Draper’s undergraduate summer students created a human-powered flying machine to compete in Red Bull’s Flugtag competition on Aug. 20, 2016, in Boston. Incorporating elements of industrial design and mechanical engineering, the team behind Draper’s Flugtag entry, titled Possibilities are Coming, crafted a hand-painted, size- and weight-constrained flying dragon, from which a single engineer would glide off a multi-story platform on the Charles River. Inspired by HBO’s Game of Thrones television program, Draper’s Strategic Communication team aided in the production and advertisement.

My role for this project was as a Strategic Planner, working on branding, logistics and content.
