Team Project MARCH - TU Delft
Number of members: 26
Active since: 2015
Project MARCH is a non-profit and open-source Dream Team from TU Delft. Every year, a new group of motivated students form a multidisciplinary team with one common ambition: to give people with spinal cord injury the chance to get back on their feet and walk independently.
Every year, we create a new prototype of an advanced exoskeleton: a motorised, wearable robot designed to enable natural movements for people with full or partial paralysis. By combining technical innovation with medical insights , we develop solutions that are not only functional, but also contribute to inclusion and quality of life. Because we work completely open-source, our designs and knowledge can be freely shared with the wider scientific and social community

EduQuation is a student team founded from Eindhoven University of Technology (Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute) and Fontys University of Applied Sciences (Lectoraat voor Toegepaste Natuurwetenschappen) in August 2023 by four students. EduQuation's mission statement is as follows: 'To make Quantum mechanics more accessible and intuitive using (video) games'. We do this using our home-made Quantum Game Rooms (QGR), in which we introduce quantum concepts using various (video) games, Virtual Reality games, and board games. While playing, visitors to the QGR learn how certain quantum phenomena work and can be applied.
