HACKATHON OVERVIEW
Space Exploration Engineering Kompetition (SEEK) is a full-day robotics hackathon on February 11, 2024 hosted by RSX. This is open to all U of T students, no matter the year, discipline, or experience level!
​
This year the theme is Exploring the Moon for Scientific Investigation — inspired by the Artemis Project. In groups of four, you will be challenged to build a mini rover and traverse through a simulated lunar terrain. Compete against other teams to see who can complete their lunar mission first!

Do I need experience?
No experience is required! All U of T students no matter the year, discipline, or background are welcome to attend!
If you are new to robotics or hackathons, don’t worry! We will provide everything you need to know and all of the components required. Before the kompetition, our members will provide online modules to introduce the components you will use to build your rover, teach you how to use them, and provide guidance! See the Schedule above for their release dates!
​
If you’re interested in space robotics or space engineering, this is the hackathon for you!
So... are you ready to explore the moon?
