BAJA ETS undertakes a variety of activities throughout the year in order to design, build, and compete with an off-road vehicle. This includes conceptualizing and designing the vehicle, testing and simulating its components, building a prototype, seeking sponsorship and funding, preparing for the competition, and ultimately competing in a series of events that test the vehicle's performance and capabilities. The team also needs to manage their budget, plan logistics, maintain communication among team members, and continuously improve their design based on feedback and results. The process requires a great deal of collaboration, creativity, and perseverance, and often involves students from diverse backgrounds such as engineering, marketing, and business.
