The McMaster Mars Rover Team (MMRT) is a student-run, interdisciplinary organization representing McMaster University in the Canadian International Rover Challenge (CIRC). Each year, we design, build, and test a functional Mars Rover capable of performing a variety of tasks in simulated extraterrestrial environments. 

MMRT consists of approximately 80 members from both engineering and non-engineering disciplines. By applying theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering challenges, our members gain hands-on experience in mechanical design, electrical systems, software development, scientific analyses, and project management.  

Our leadership structure fosters mentorship, collaboration, and professional development, empowering students through teamwork, problem solving, and hands-on challenges, where building a rover is the journey to building future leaders.

The team is currently on a 2 year design cycle with the aim of competing on the international stage at The University Rover Challenge (URC) by Mars Society in Utah, America.
