2026/2027 Recruitment Open Now (Sept 22 - Oct 12)
Project MarsWorks is a student-led project at the University of Sheffield, made up of over 50 interdisciplinary students who design and build Mars rovers.
A student-led project dedicated to designing and building a Mars Rover for international competitions.
Project MarsWorks consists of an interdisciplinary student team who level up their engineering skills outside of the lecture theatre by designing, testing and developing Mars Rovers.
By applying theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering, our members gain hands-on experience in building the rover, developing industry connections and global competition experience. Now embarking on the 10th year of the Project!
In 2026/27, MarsWorks will take on three major rover competitions, putting our engineering and teamwork to the test.
