Comment les membres ont commencé avec nous.
I turned up at a Thursday meeting and had code running on the wheelchair two weeks later.

Thèses ouvertes et stages
Formellement supervisé, sujet ouvert : votre travail finit dans le prototype, pas sur une étagère.
Thèse ou stage
Microcontroller programming
- Champ
- Electrical engineering, computer science
- Ce que cela implique
- We use ESP32 chips to drive the wheelchair wheels, read the speed, run the user interface and tilt the seat.
- Ce que vous apprendrez
- You will learn to work on firmware in an international team, see how firmware fits into a larger project, and gain experience with ESP32, CAN bus and 45-volt high-torque motors.
Stage
Construction and manufacturing
- Champ
- Mechanical engineering
- Ce que cela implique
- The wheelchair is assembled from many milled aluminium parts, screws, tubes and plastic components. We need a second prototype for presentations and testing.
- Ce que vous apprendrez
- You will learn how to assemble a wheelchair and manufacture its individual parts.
Stage
3D modelling
- Champ
- Design engineering
- Ce que cela implique
- We create the 3D models for the load-bearing elements, the fasteners and the control elements.
- Ce que vous apprendrez
- You will learn to build models in Fusion 360 and FreeCAD, 3D print them and prepare them for presentation.
Thèse
Continuous integration
- Champ
- Computer science
- Ce que cela implique
- To guarantee quality and take our team and our products to the next level, we need automation across the board.
- Ce que vous apprendrez
- You need prior programming knowledge, and will gain experience embedding automation into every area of a team that builds wheelchairs.
Thèse ou stage
Process management
- Champ
- Industrial engineering, management
- Ce que cela implique
- Our team has a stable core and a part that comes and goes. We need you so new people settle in quickly and their work makes it all the way into the product.
- Ce que vous apprendrez
- Interested in management work but with little experience so far? Try it out with us.
Stage
Social media and communications
- Champ
- Marketing, media
- Ce que cela implique
- Inclusion is a long-standing global issue. We want to reach people with our projects — and our team is always looking for new members.
- Ce que vous apprendrez
- You will learn how to present a project or product and how to plan and run social campaigns.
