The JURBAN team entered the Google LUNAR X PRIZE competition because we envisioned an opportunity to inspire underprivileged populations, worldwide, that innovatively applying STEM skills can be achieved something that brings pride all those populations who feel discouraged.  The JURBAN team is made up of professionals and student engineers that will accomplish this lunar challenge by innovatively applying their specialized skills to launching our lunar craft “JOHLT” who was inspired by men and women of underrepresented populations who have achieved going to space. The JURBAN team believes the Google LUNAR X PRIZE can be a step, increasing STEM talent among undeserved and disadvantaged populations and send a motivational message about the importance of education and improving STEM performance.
