The Carleton Planetary Robotics Team is a group of undergrad students from Carleton University. Every year, the team develops a rover in an attempt to compete in the University Rover Challenge which happens at the Mars Desert Research Station in Hanksville, Utah.

Our team and rover (Eileen), have been accepted as a stand out applicant for the 2026 competition. By being invited to this competition, CPRT has been identified as one of the top teams in the world, being one of only 4 schools to represent Canada on the international stage!

Your donation would go directly to funding team members travel to and from the competition, allowing many students to get to experience one of the most unique testing facilities on earth, and represent their Country!

If you would like to see more about the team, here is a link to the video submission that got CPRT into the competition:
