The winners of our inaugural Student Grant program

Last year, we asked students to share their insights on autonomous systems & sustainability. Learn more about the submissions here.

Winner: Bradley

University of Alberta, Canada

Before becoming a student, Bradley provided humanitarian service in Zambia for 25 months and learned how much meaningful technologies and other engineer-produced developments can improve people’s quality of life. This experience made him realise that his lifelong dream of becoming an engineer was no longer just a desire, but a necessity.

Runner up: Zoe

University of Sydney, Australia

With a double degree, Zoe is able to cultivate insights from both civil engineering and law, developing a passion for stringent, mathematical calculations and research, and legal discussions and reasoning. She envisions the two contrasting yet powerful disciplines to both have a huge impact on environmental discussions.

Runner up: Keegan

Edith Cowan University, Australia

After learning about Advanced Navigation, Keegan developed a fascination for ROVs and AUVs application – the idea of immersing complex circuitry within a body of water presents more challenges than conventional robotics. Keegan is keen to further his knowledge and understanding of it by one day constructing ROVs himself.
