To create awareness about all our societies, we're bringing you this regular student group Spotlight, where we will introduce all the societies you may want to join!
Spotlight of the Week – Engineering Society
Last week in the Spotlight, we featured RAMS, one of the epic and coolest societies for Music lovers you could ever find at Staffs. If you missed that article, here is thelink for you.
Have you ever dreamed of a society that offers more than just the usual social gatherings? We'd like to introduce you to the Engineering Society, a hub of creativity and exploration that welcomes students from all backgrounds. If you're a computing student, this is a unique opportunity to expand your horizons and explore the world of engineering.

-
Creativity Unleashed: Engineering isn't just about calculations; it's about creation. With our workshops and resources, you can design, build, and innovate. Take your creations home and continue refining your skills.
What's Been Happening?
In our recent "Spooktacular Lanterns Workshop," we delved into the world of 3D printing models, servos, and open-source programming. It was a fun and educational experience, and it's just a taste of what we have in store.
Robots Live VIP tour backstage before the show in order to meet the Roboteers and also the machines. This was very educational to us as we got to learn about how much work went into these machines and also the materials that were used to make them.
Ghouls and GitHub: Where a 3D printed eyeball that is attached to 2 servo motors which our members had to figure out how to construct this model and then next week they will be learning how to program the motors to make the movement.
What's Coming Up?
We will be doing 2big projects like these per month, so there's always plenty to learn, and lots of exciting things to try.
How to Join?
If you're ready to explore the world of engineering, joining is simple and affordable. Membership costs just £3.00.
