The Embedded Systems and Projects Club is open to every SAIT student. We solder, program microcontrollers, design circuit boards and build projects together, from a first blinking LED all the way to a satellite.
No experience needed and no application screening. Show up, pick up a soldering iron, and build something with people who enjoy the same thing.
Join the clubOne big project the execs pour their time into, and plenty of smaller ones anyone can start.
A 3U satellite with student-built subsystems: circuit boards, radios, firmware and structure. The exec team spends most of its own time here, building the hardware and securing the funding.
The CubeSat team is selective, with its own application, an essay and an in-person meeting.
Smaller builds that start at build nights: things like a weather station, an LED matrix, a robot arm or a radio receiver. Pitch one and we'll help you find parts and teammates.
Four students running the club. Most of our own time goes into the CubeSat and the funding behind it; the club is how everyone else gets their hands on hardware too.
ESP starts as a general projects club, open to every SAIT student.
Club sign-ups and CubeSat team applications open.
Meet the execs, lab safety, and an ESP32 warm-up: blink an LED, then read a sensor.
Mission requirements, payload trade study and choosing a radio band.
Photos from our first build night will go here. Boards, bench setups, and the occasional burnt resistor.
If your company or lab works in space, RF or embedded hardware, we'd like to hear from you. We're looking for mentors, parts and test equipment, and advice from people who have flown hardware.
Sponsors and mentors are credited on this site and in our design review packages, and they get to know a team of students who build things.
