## Caption

Where else but #Purdue would a sports mascot’s head be made from aerospace-grade materials? 🚀 

That’s the case with ThePurduePete, whose head is constructed from lightweight, durable carbon fiber, which could also be used to make a rocket, airliner or space shuttle. 

At the 🔗 in bio, meet the #Boilermakers from TechPurdue behind Pete’s cutting-edge look and learn about their plans to make it even more user-friendly.
