🚀 Meet Our CSBR Community and one of our inspiring CSBR/ASA Summer Fellows!
We're excited to introduce Lucas Laurent from Lakewood, Colorado, a senior at D'Evelyn High School.
This Tuesday, Lucas will be the featured CSBR/ASA Summer Fellowship student presenter during "Financing Your Aerospace & Defense Business – Funding Strategies and Sources." Hosted by vcfo, /, Rocky Mountain NDIA, and the Colorado Space Business Roundtable(CSBR), this sold-out event brings together aerospace and defense professionals for breakfast, networking, and an expert panel exploring financing strategies—from government grants and venture capital to private equity, specialized lending, SBA loans, and traditional bank financing.
Lucas will present "VERTEX: A Novel Educational Vibration Testing Platform," sharing his innovative educational testing platform and representing the next generation of Colorado aerospace talent.
After researching local aerospace opportunities, Lucas discovered the CSBR/ASA Summer Fellowship Program. Now, he'll have the opportunity to present his work to professionals from across Colorado's aerospace and defense community—an exciting milestone in his aerospace journey!
🎉 Congratulations, Lucas! 🎉
We look forward to your presentation and to celebrating the impact of our Fellowship Program in connecting students with Colorado's vibrant aerospace community.
