Our student competitive teams represent the University of Ottawa in diverse international competitions.

By joining a team, students are able to expand their knowledge beyond the classroom and get a practical and fun hands-on experience that all employers want. Competitive teams also provide them with networking opportunities with mentors, industry and other students.

Donations to a competitive team will allow students to invest in tooling and equipment or in traveling fees.
