This summer, we will be competing in the International Submarine Races in Gosport, England, HPS will be paying to ship Marlin, our newest submarine, as well as team members internationally. Your donation will go directly towards helping Marlin and our dedicated members reach competition so that we will be able to represent the University of Michigan on a global stage.
About our Organization
The mission of the Human Powered Submarine Team is to foster advances in subsea vehicle propulsion, hydrodynamic, and life support systems, creating more awareness of the challenges and results of working at various aquatic depths. In doing so, our team gains hands-on experience that cannot be learned in a lecture hall, and we showcase our skills as a team by racing the University of Michigan submarine at competitive international competitions.
HPS is an extracurricular student project team, so membership is voluntary. Students join our team because of their passion for submarines, the challenge of the design process, the prospect of winning international honors at the races, or simply for the excitement of belonging to an engineering team and working towards a common goal.
In addition to design and manufacturing, we are also self-funded. We work with companies to get sponsorships and have a business and marketing group. We also do high school outreach to share our love of science and engineering with the next generation.
