2026 Give to the Max day is almost here!!!!!! With the World Solar Challenge right around the corner, we need all the support we can get from our incredible donors. To ensure that we can make it to Australia (and maybe back), we have set a hefty goal of $12,000, but with your help, we know we can make it. On top of this, by donating, you are helping sustain an organization built on sustainability, making sure our team can keep making a difference, year after year, race after race. #umnproud〽️ #umncse #gttmd26

We had a special guest show up at our bodystorm yesterday! Thanks for stopping by, Goldy! Are you curious what’s happening in this bodystorm? Here are the rules at play: 🧫All cancer cells start in the middle of the room and are trying to metastasize by making it to a pillar (representing a new part of the body) before Goldy tags them 🧪All cancer cells must walk at a slow pace 🔬 Goldy is a T-cell racing to kill the cancer cells before the cancer spreads 🧬 Goldy can walk fast, but not run And in this model Goldy won! 🏅 Congrats Goldy on stopping the cancer from spreading!!! This is just one example of what we will be doing on a large scale this Sunday at The Battle. Curious to come see the research in action? Link in our bio to RSVP! Event runs from 1:00 - 4:30 at Huntington Bank Stadium. All participants get a free t-shirt and a provided dinner from @afrodeli

We had an amazing time at the Great Minnesota Get Together! 🌽 A group of people in matching maroon shirts stand behind a sleek solar-powered vehicle with a large solar panel on one side. The vehicle is labeled with the number 35. Various logos, including Ford and Thermo King, are displayed on the side. They're positioned in front of maroon curtains.

With a heavy heart, and hours of deliberation, we have pulled out of the 2026 Formula Sun Grand Prix and the American Solar Challenge. For months on end, we’ve overcome numerous difficulties, stemming from materials, to funding, to planning every last detail. We’ve learned so much through this build cycle. Here’s a recap of what the last week has been Swipe to relive our days → 1/7 PC: Alex U. 7/17 - Scrutineering officially started, however we were set to start on 7/18. This day focused on perfecting every aspect of H1. → 2/7 PC: Aish B. 7/18 - Scrutineering started for us! We received 3 reds, two yellows, and two greens on this day. It helped us create a checklist of what needed to be finished. → 3/7 PC: Aish B. 7/19 - This day was spent fully debugging and making more and more progress to getting the car to actually move. → 4/7 PC: Aish B. 7/20 - Siemens challenge started! We had two members, Ivy and Luke, hard at work for the next few days. Meanwhile, other members continued their efforts on the car. Thanks to the dynamic duo, we ended up winning 3rd place! 7/21 - Mechanical status changed to blue! We continued to gather our blues and greens, but ran into major issues with our BMS system. → 5/7 PC: NZ G. 7/22 - Our biggest day yet. Long days, and even longer nights were spent on Hyperion. Wednesday morning, she was powered by her own motors. We collected the greens on BPS and Electrical with flying colors and moved onto dynamics. This was the last day of scrutineering, and we made it count. We ultimately passed all of our tests – we were blue! → 6/7 PC: Alex U. However, later that night, we found issues with our steering rack and braking system, and ultimately decided to withdraw from the event. This decision was made with the safety of our drivers and passengers in mind. We truly thank each and every one of our members for their sacrifices to this project. From late nights in the shop to long days machining, every effort has been put into this car. Thank you to everyone for all of your unwavering support. We will see you, stronger than ever, at our next rayce! ☀️UFF DA!! ☀️ 7/7 PC: @stanfordsolarcar #umnproud #umncse #americansolarchallenge2

So, how do you pursue a rigorous engineering degree and study abroad — not once, not twice, but three times? Just ask mechanical engineering senior Sophia Konzen! The mechanical engineering and French studies double major credits the University of Minnesota’s advising network and cross-campus collaborations for making it possible for her to smoothly tie her engineering education with foreign language studies and study abroad opportunities. Read what advice she has for CSE students at the link in our bio! A person wearing a maroon University of Minnesota Robotics T-shirt stands outside a building with beige stone walls and a window.

Students from aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, electrical and computer engineering and mechanical engineering presented their Senior Design projects! ⚙️ These projects provide hands-on experience where they work with local companies to develop innovative ideas. Congratulations to all of the winners! Two individuals are interacting with a transparent mechanical contraption filled with wires and components. They are at a booth with technical posters behind them, possibly at a science or engineering event. Multiple people are visible in the background.
