ESD Girls in Engineering Academy

04/05/2025

The Michigan Mars Rover Team (MRover) came to Eastern Michigan University to talk to our 9th grade girls during last weeks GEA class.

The Michigan Mars Rover Team (MRover) is a student-run, multidisciplinary organization at University of Michigan whose mission is to design and build a rover for the exploration of extraterrestrial environments. We strive to inspire and educate students about space, Mars exploration, and engineering, and we focus on helping students grow as engineers. As a competition-oriented team, our goal is to win the annual University Rover Challenge (URC) at the Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station near Hanksville, Utah.

Presenters: Chloe Affaki (President), Aida Ruan (Chief Engineer), Ben Houle (Vice President), Grace Tai (External Relations Officer), Swaraj Kokatam (Mechanical Lead), and Alison Rykman (Software Lead)
