Key New Faces To Project Marsworks

This week, Project Marsworks welcomed eager, fresh new members to our team. 

Project Marsworks has expanded to over 50 members this year. 

Many of the volunteers came from a range of fields, including general engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, robotics, journalism, etc.

We asked the new members to share their background and what they hope to accomplish at Project Marsworks. 

Laura, 19, mechanical team, General Engineering student said: “I’d like to get more experience, just learning how to build and design things, and hopefully have something great to put on my CV”

Our new recruits were dazzled by the technical skills they will learn in our project. 

Many of our newcomers referenced computer-aided design (CAD) as a big benefit to being a part of the team. 

Franklin, 18, science team, Aerospace Engineering student said: “It’s going to be a good experience, time to get some engineering experience under my belt and hopefully improve my CAD skills”

Project Marsworks utilises CAD to curate and streamline the development of our robotics, making them competition-ready. 

Additionally, many of our newcomers were excited to use printed circuit board (PCB) design and robot operating system (ROS) to build our rovers. 

Reuben, 19, robotics team, Aerospace Engineering student, said: “I'm so excited. I’m on the edge of my seat, I’m ecstatic!”

A practical edge that helps support and boost each team’s journey as we build the rovers. 

Furthermore, at the foundation, our multi-disciplinary team collaborates to  “win the competitions”.

Project Marsworks is gearing up to enter several competitions over the year to showcase the hard work of our members. 

Yusuf, 20, operations team, Aerospace Engineering student, said: “Just being part of a team and hoping to accomplish something by the end of the year is amazing”

To conclude, we have a great cohort of members who are thrilled to learn new skills, work in a large multi-disciplinary team and produce results.  

I invite you to be a part of our journey at Project MarsWorks as we gear up to enter robotic competitions locally, nationally, and internationally.
