Support TEAM OARS for Giving Day
WHO ARE WE?
We are Team OARS, a group with one goal - to innovate. Our team consists of 11 passionate students studying various engineering and computer science disciplines. We are here to make our mark on the university before we all graduate in May 2026.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
During the remainder of the Spring 2026 semester, our objective is to test a prototype of an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) - an autonomous boat - in the Neutral Buoyancy Research Facility and in more complex bodies of water to assist in rescue operations in stormy weather conditions. We aim to raise $500 to fund our testing.
