Recruitment Process

Recruitment begins with Rocketry 101 and the subteam 101 sessions, where you can learn about the team and find the areas that interest you most. After that, you’ll fill out a form about your interests, motivations, and availability. There are no technical requirements, we just want to get to know you better.

Expected Skills

We do not expect any prior experience. What we look for is curiosity, motivation, and a willingness to learn. Through workshops, mentorship, and hands-on projects, you will quickly develop the technical and teamwork skills needed to contribute.

Commitment

There is no strict minimum time requirement, but consistent participation is key to staying active on the team. Most new members dedicate around 5–10 hours per week, with busier periods around design reviews or competition deadlines. The more time you put in, the more skills, experience, and opportunities you will gain.
