Cost Captains will host two informational sessions in January to help Formula SAE teams prepare for the Cost Event. These sessions will provide guidance, helpful resources, and opportunities for students to ask questions directly to the Cost Captains.

Team members are encouraged to mark their calendars and attend the sessions most relevant to their team's preparation.

• January 12 at 12:00 PM Eastern - Online Cost Module: Instructions, Tips & Q&A

  Join the Cost Captains for a walkthrough of the Online Cost Module, including instructions on how to navigate and use the module, helpful tips, and clear expectations for the Cost Event.
  This session is ideal for team members who are new to the Cost Event, as well as those looking for a refresher before getting started. A Q&A portion will provide an opportunity for students to ask questions and gain additional clarity.

• January 26 at 12:00 PM Eastern - 2027 Cost Scenario: Review and Q&A

  The Cost Captains will host an informational session focused on the 2027 Cost Scenario. During this session, the Cost Captains will review the scenario and required submission materials, followed by an encouraged Q&A portion where students can ask questions and clarify expectations.
  > The 2027 Cost Scenario will be published in early/mid November to give student teams time to review the scenario ahead of the session.
