It was a busy fall semester for SEDS, so let’s recap what happened! 🕵

We officially kicked off on September 25th, and it was out of this world 🚀🚀

nuLunabotics was officially accepted into the 2026 Lunabotics competition hosted in Florida later this year! They’re currently developing and prototyping their robot for the competition, and we wish them the best of luck! ☾

Astronomy won a grant from the National SEDS Organization for their radio telescope project, and hosted stargazing events 🔭

nuRover are officially past the first round of URC 2026, and are currently still going through the application process. They tabled at a multitude of STEM events throughout Boston, and focused on reaching out to the community 👯

NEST created a new prototype for their robotic snake, and are running a multitude of simulations with the project in a process known as reinforcement learning! 🐍

We are so excited to announce that RASC-AL officially submitted a notice of intent to compete for the 2026 season! They’ve spent the past couple of months getting off the ground and putting together an application, and we could not be prouder 🥹

SUITS also officially submitted their application for the 2026 season, and are awaiting more news. We wish them the best of luck! 👩‍🚀

All of this was done in just under 4 months, and we’re just getting started 😼Join our slack to find out more about projects you can join TODAY!

Congratulations to team SIRIUS for a great week at the NASA SUITS challenge! Test day two at the Johnson Space Center Rock Yard was a resounding success. The team demonstrated an augmented reality heads-up display for astronauts on the Artemis missions, and it has given them tons of inspiration for next year's challenge. They also had a blast working with from the University of Michigan!
