Fix it 3491

FIX IT is the oldest FIRST team on Vancouver Island and is a community team from the Victoria Makerspace. Recently, they were the Captain of the Winning Alliance at the FTC Invitational KDays competition in Edmonton.

Reybots (Reynolds)

The Reynolds Reybots club at Reynolds Secondary School in Victoria, BC, focuses on building robots while inspiring the community through STEM education. Each year, the team sets a common goal, developing skills in documentation and collaboration, and fostering creativity that often leads students to pursue careers in STEM or business.


Aero

UVic AERO provides opportunities for students interested in aeronautical engineering to gain hands-on experience and connect with industry professionals. Members gain experience with control systems, flow simulation, manufacturing, and many other skill sets. The club builds a new aircraft yearly to compete in the Aerial Evolution Competition or the SAE Aero Design Competition.

UVEEC

UVic Environmental Engineering club (UVEEC) provides novel solutions to local environmental problems. Our current project is an autonomous underwater glider that will be deployed in Saanich Inlet with a CTD payload. This will allow us to efficiently and accessibly profile data of unique water masses and properties in the inlet.

UVic Formula Racing (UVFR)

The UVic Formula Racing (UVFR) Motorsport team is a university club whose goal is to design and build a new small, open-wheeled, formula-style car each year. The car then competes in Formula SAE, which is the world’s largest collegiate design competition.

UVic Formula Hybrid

The UVIC Formula Hybrid team designs and builds a hybrid open-wheel race car each year for the Formula Hybrid + Electric competition. Since transitioning from the EcoCar challenge in 2014, the team has earned seven podium finishes, including two first places, showcasing their expertise in hybrid vehicle systems.

UVic Rocketry

UVic Rocketry endeavors to provide UVic students with a unique learning environment wherein they are able to gain hands-on experience with engineering design, testing, and manufacturing. Our members can develop skills that they may not otherwise learn, apply concepts in a practical setting, and foster a deeper passion for aerospace and engineering.

UVic Satellite Design (UVSD)

UVic Satellite Design (UVSD), established 14 years ago, has earned top placements in the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge. The team contributes to the UVic ground-station and OrcaSat mission and is developing the Skya’anaSat satellite for a 2025 launch. We train the next generation of aerospace engineers.

UVic Seismic Design

Founded in 2019 by UVic Civil Engineering students, the UVIC Seismic Design Team focuses on advancing earthquake engineering. Competing annually in the EERI Seismic Design Competition, the team emphasizes education, research, and student networking in the field.

VikeLabs

VikeLabs is a collective of students who learn to build, deploy and test software apps quickly. The group views UVic as a kind of laboratory for testing solutions to problems that exist within the campus community.


Bearden

The Bearden “Honey Warmer” project is designed to tackle the problem of crystallized honey. This project aims to address the challenges posed by crystallized honey and showcases the practical skills and innovative problem-solving cultivated at Camosun College.
