Darwin

Named after Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist and scientist who proposed the theory of evolution, the Darwin rocketry team embodies the spirit of exploration, adaptation, and growth. This diverse group of students from various academic backgrounds shares a common goal: to push the boundaries of rocketry and take their passion for space to new heights.
